This is farewell

Hello all,

Well, as it turns out, God works in mysterious ways...I hope. There was another issue with the most perfect family I ever had - my 2.5 year old. Never had an issue with them or the child or anything and everything was fine.

There was a little incident with my dog scratching him in the face (didn't bleed and the child didn't cry) but his parents completely flipped out and took him out of care, which means I am now down to one child.

So, I'm done. This is way too stressful for us, as a family. We don't have the emotional stability or the right set up in our home for a daycare, so we've made the decision to close.

I will be looking for an evening job so I can stay home with my son during the day, and I will be keeping my other kid to play with my son until he goes part time in November.

I may come back for some questions about him, but he's been here for so long, I don't think I'll need to.

I want to thank you guys for everything you've done for me - all the support you've given me and understanding. thank you thank you a hundred times.

Aw, we'll miss you Littledragon but do come back and talk to us sometimes and let us know how you are doing. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Sorry about that, littledragon. But you know, everything will work out for the best. Sometimes when you're going through something, it's hard to see the good in it. But hopefully, one day you'll look back on all this and figure out the lessons that you've learnt and how you're better for having gone through it. All the best!

I wish you well little dragon and hope you find the best evening job that you will love. Please let us know how you are doing and remember to say hi often to the rest of us in the daycare trenches. :flower:

NOOOOoooooooo :( We'll miss you!!!

Very sad that you are leaving. This Friday is a bit hard on me as one of my dcg is left just now and I'm in tears. She was here almost a year. They moved to another area:(

I'm also considering leaving this profession and find work elsewhere as it is really upsetting me when they leave. Good luck Little Dragon. I pray that your future is a lot better then your past.

Take care

Thanks Everyone.

I will probably come back often as I'm sort of addicted to this forum lol if nothing else, i can get some answers for my son's terrible twos and maybe offer some advice here and there if I have any. This Month had been a NIGHTMARE, especially this week. But luckily, my husband supported me the entire way and although we're in a thick fog right now, when we get passed it, I know there will be something better than we're in now.

Now to sell off some stuff and rearrange my house hahahaha I will miss you all so much

But i'll be back ;)

Bye littledragon. I'm really sad to see you go, because I think you're awesome.:tearywave:

Awewee Pm me maybe we can keep in touch with FB? good luck dearry!

Let us know what things you're selling. I'm in Nepean too. :)

Hello,
goodbye and goodluck. I felt I could really relate to you. All the best.

Littledragon so sorry that you feel this way but glad that you are finding peace with your decision. Yes sometimes when we are confused and can't decide which way we want to go the decision is made for us. Wishing you all the best in your new endeavors but don't feel that you can't stay on the forum and hang out with us. We will miss you.

If you are going through he'll, keep going - Winston Churchill. Don't worry light is at the end of it.

Follow this blog. Whenever I feel down i read his blog and there is always something to lift my mood. :) He is amazing!

So sorry this endeavour did not work out in the end for you, but I believe you were a very good caregiver and that those kids are worse off not to have you :( However, sometimes we have to go with the flow in life and when the tide is too strong to swim against, we let go and go with the tide. I am SURE that things will brighten up for you very soon and that you will find a job that allows you to stay with your son. Best of luck with everything!

Good luck in your next adventure. I bet it will be nice to take the house back! Sometimes I feel that mine is just full of baby stuff. It get's in the way.

I'm sorry to hear that you're in this position. Good luck finding an evening position, and keep us posted on how you're doing. (maybe send me a PM - I live in the same area as you, and if there's anything I can do to help out I'd be happy to try) *hugs and strength* :tearywave::tearywav e:

Good Luck in whatever you end up with, and I do VERY MUCH agree with you! God does work in ways we'll never completely understand, just go with his "flow" and you will be blessed beyond measure. Take Care,and try to keep in touch...been a pleasure sharing stories and points of view. Sure everything will work out for the best!!!!!!:thumbsup: :wave::wub:

Sorry to read this Little Dragon but you need to do what is best for you and yours and sometimes when one door closes another one opens that meets our needs in better unexpected ways!

Sending you positive vibes that a solution to your work life balance is just around the corner :glomp:
