    I Am Mentally Done, 3 DCK's Are Physically Done

    I feel so burnt out lately, and in my heart of hearts I just cant do this anymore.

    I have applied for a job that pays $21 an hour to start and paid training. Yes I will have to drive to the city, and my kids will become latch key kids, but I am just done. Fingers crossed!

    All 3 of my FT kids just left for good and do you think these parents were even greatfull for the things I have done for them and the kids the last 3 years???

    Nope, not even a thanks. Just see you later.

    I have lost my income and we cant go on holidays anymore.

    My husband is tired of the unpredictable income and so am I.

    The only call I have had this month was from someone who was looking for daycare and when I told her my rate for part time care she said oh that's too much. That's how much I charge for fulltime care. Im like why are you calling me then??

    Im fed up and annoyed.

    I understand completely! How long have you been doing home daycare? I am already sick of the inconsistent income and I've only been open for 6 months....

      Congrats on the new job! I was SO done last year, and got rid of 2 full timers, and then, life was good! I didn't mind the other kids, and I had no issues and was happy!

      I just started a new kid this week though, and she make me want to jump out of a window! Hopefully she will get better!

      Good luck to you
