Thank you! I just really hope I get more kids soon! Financially, I just really hurt myself by terminating the baby. But I know that overall for the health and sanity of everyone in my daycare and my household, it was the right decision. But, financially, I just shot myself in my foot! I just really hope I get more kids!

Maybe temporarily you did but I feel in the long run you did yourself, the other kids and families a huge favor! You admitted the chaos in your dc may have made your potential assistant take off for the hills, so maybe this is the step you needed to take to turn that all around? Find some different and unique ways to advertise and get the word out!!! Can your current dcfs help with spreading the word? You lasted way longer than I could have. In fact, I took a 12 month old awhile back and never lasted the trial period with her. She'd wrap her arms around my legs all day, begging, screaming to be picked up. She slept 45 minutes the first day and that was it. No naps again the whole time. She was just miserable here. I had her sibling and was so afraid I would lose her too. As it turned out, they put the youngest into a center and a few months later they asked me if I'd be willing to give it another try. I did and it's worked out unbelievably well.
Anyways, stay hopeful!! The amount of stress this one child was causing you may be a huge turning point so think positive! Good things will come!!

Josiegirl,

I don't like having to have children flip-flop through daycares. It's not good for them. So I do my best to work with the child and families to make it work. Therefore, I hold out for as long as I can before I terminate someone. But after 3 months with this baby, I still have not made any progress! When my other parents started inquiring about their children taking nap because they were basically a holy terror at home from being so tired, I realized that the baby would have to either take nap or stop coming very soon. Then other people on the forum made comments about how broke would I be if I lost all of the other kids because of this one kid and wound up with only this one kid I decided that he simply has to stop coming here. I talked with my nephew about it (he's only 4 years younger than I am) and he agreed that sometimes you have to sacrifice one and lose the income from one for the benefit of the whole group.

I spoke with someone this morning about child care. She said she will call me after she gets off work today. Hopefully she'll call and hire me!

I'm just really nervous because I'm on a time limit to increase my income and get something permanently working! Technically, January might be the last month's rent that my ex pays for me! That's only 3 more months now! And here I went and kicked a kid out! I just REALLY hope I get more kids very soon!

I don't know but I recently read an article that the majority of kids being diagnosed as ADHD are actually chronically sleep deprived. I have seen it in my own daycare the actions of chronically sleep deprived kids and how much their behavior changes once they get the sleep they need.
