School is out in 2 days here and I'm already stressing how busy it will be. I have 4 of my own girls plus almost full with my daycare numbers. My daycare kids are 19month boy, 2 year boy, 4 year boy, 6 & 9 year old sisters.
Ever feel like you took in more than what you can handle?? It's not so difficult when the school kids are in school but when they are all out it can get so busy.
I started my daycare business so I could be with my kids..teach them and watch them grow (not to mention I don't trust many people ;-) )...but at times, especially during the summer, I feel as though I am spending more time watching and taking care of my younger daycare kids...changing diapers, cleaning up after their messes, and keeping them safe and out of trouble.
The couple of hours when the school kids get off the bus until parent pick up seems so busy....I have found myself putting my kids on the back burner just to keep up with the little ones. I know it sounds simple to downsize (still thinking about it), but it took me a while to build clients...I would not want to make a mistake and let them go and find myself financially strapped again.
Just feeling like I'm not getting that quality time with my own children that I dreamed of...anyone else feel the same way?
