Two days a week we have quiet days with usually only 5 kids here, and we actually are down a couple kids after the drama a couple weeks ago, so even without her, I am in compliance. As far as the 60/40 split, we came up with that so that it was pretty even after paying bills. She is supposed to make it so that I can attend my children's school stuff and take them to and from school.
Omg!!! Think I Am Going To Have To Let Assistant Go

i'm not sure why you went off on cheerfuldom. she was just trying to help. I'm not sure what other issues you are going through, but we are all on the forum as a support group.
as for the 60/40 split, how is that contracted? is it on paper? it really doesn't seem fair on your end. you have cost of building (ur home) to consider. Also the extra hours u put in, the numbers don't look right to me.- Flag

I took nanny dees advice and hired a Young and energetic enthusiastic 19 year old and she has been awesome! I worked with my sister in law who same as yours constantly complained, always showed up late or not at all and basically cut her hours to 0 or just when needed.- Flag

Is it possible that you are a bit oversensitive to it because you know what they are saying is true? Your posts are escalating, you are stressed, you have a screamer, a colicky infant, an irresponsible assistant, a licensing citation PLUS a recently termed client who is bad mouthing you all over the place.
You have been facing burnout....who wouldn't under those circumstances???? I'd be running screaming through the streets
They are trying to help. THAT is what the forum is for. Nobody is judging you....we FEEL for you and want to help.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.- Flag

sorry but who tagged this provider burn out risk, I find it kinda rude. We all have issues, heck I complain all the time about the one girl and poopy pull up girl but I come here to vent because dh isn't home. Just because we complain about the same kids doesn't mean we are going to have a burn out.- Flag

OK, I had to look at your post history because I did not really think you have been targeted and was wondering what you were talking about. I have not been on my A game lately and figured I must have missed something.

It links you to OTHER threads like this one where people give valuable advice.
STRESS is a KNOWN Provider Burnout Risk.
It is about forum archives......NOT labeling a person.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.- Flag

I am sorry...you are right. That thread was started by someone else...My mistake. I read through them pretty fast.
When I first came here I vented alot...I was stressed and that was why I came looking for an online forum...I was about to close the doors for good.
I got a lot of great advice and now I rarely need to vent. I know I got pretty upset when folks told me what I needed to hear, instead of what I wanted to hear at first. :::

I also come to this site to vent. I'm sure some may think that I am a burn out risk too for the amount of "venting threads" I have posted. Actually, at one point I was in a really low place but I was able to bring myself back up with the support of those around me and this site. OP I hope that you don't stop posting just because a few have narrowed you out as being a "potential burnout", I think it is so harsh to judge someone like that, especially someone you don't even know.
I also think some of the posters should word their advice a little different. Telling someone you think they can't handle the amount of children they have is not a good way to give advice, it's actually insulting and I would be really upset if someone said that to me too. I understand the whole "she asked for advice, we give advice" but wording goes a long way....- Flag

Well with out speaking to another person that way I'll tell you. Please no dram thoughshe asked for advise and someone commented about her being stress or what ever . I really didn't pay that much attention because it didn't seem that rude but sahm thought it was, which ok she commented, no biggy
but then you just kept posting about it and even investigated and put some of her post up and pretty mush said yes you are stressed and bla bla srry, I can't remember the exact convo , I really don't comment on stuff that is confrontational but i feel for her
I get stressed ,not from kids but from parents and assistants and so forth. But sorry I didn't mean to offend you in any way
I just feel for sahm.
