I love that I created all of this myself (and dh's handiwork). I took the classes, bought the materials, found the kids, create the curriculum, do all the paperwork, etc. I did all of this, and am proud of it (as all of you should feel proud too). I run a tight ship, and teach what I think is important (both academic and social). I also love the no commute and being home (I've become a home-body but kind of like it). Good thread
Living by myself can get quiet so having kids here makes it feel not so empty.
I get some big laughs on most days along with great hugs.
I can read kids' books all day without someone saying why are you reading that?
Same with toys, I can still play blocks and Barbies at my age.
I don't have to defrost a car and drive slippery roads to go to work in the middle of the winter.
I love working in my own home.
I like being able to take care of my dogs all day.
I don't have to dress up, just neat.
I don't have to work weekends and holidays.
Even with all the aggravation of dcps and /or dcks, I still would rather do this than most other jobs. I never liked dealing with public.
I love being my own boss and business owner! Many things in life can't be controlled like sickness and death, but I CAN CONTROL my business......and the children love me whether I can sing on key or not, whether my hair looks good or not, whether I am pretty or ugly....the kids in my care give me a purpose and reason to smile every day....the pros far outweigh the cons!
I get to be home
I love my kidlets!
Nothing better than hugs and baby kisses!
My kids (now almost 18 and 23) have learned how to care for and love on little ones!

Ya know, I've never even considered this. I DID create all of this, I molded every tiny detail and I continue to mold the children every day. Thanks for the perspective.
