So I'm trying to switch my mood from envy to gratitude 
None of my current families have done a single thing for me on Mother's Day or Provider Appreciation Day/Week. I've had these families from 2-5 years now, and do not expect that to change. They do pay me on time, however, and are generally respectful of rules and times, etc. (Not this past week though - lots of late pick-ups, which may be influencing my mood.)
BUT.
Last year, one of my former families dropped by on Mother's Day morning. I was still in my robe :
: but they trooped in with a huge beautiful hanging basket of flowers. It was gorgeous all summer long and I thought of them every day. They were always, always good to me.
AND.
For about fifteen years, one of my former families came every year on my birthday with a cake
She said whenever she got on xx highway, her car just automatically came to my house. And she remembered my birthday because it was the same as her sister's.
SO.
I am trying to be grateful for the fact that my current families are almost always supportive, respectful, and that they are just nice people and good parents to their little ones. Even when they never thank me for anything
