    Oh - ya cut yourself some slack on the guilty part ... if I had a nickle for all the days that one child or another over the years who literally drove me to drink after work I would be RETIRED ... in hindsight I should have bought me some shares in Bailey's

    Children are HUMAN BEINGS just like any adult on the planet just SMALLER - you would not think twice about venting about your spouse or a coworker who was pushing your buttons over something .... no different with a child!

    They all have personality issues, temperament issues and well just 'days' were you would love to sell them to the Gypsy's for a bag of chips cause they are just dragging on every fibre of your being!

    Sorry but if someone is telling you they have NEVER had a moment where they did not LIKE their OWN child for one reason or another let alone a strangers child IMO they are full of it .... every human being has those 'moments and stages' where their behaviour is well less than desirable heck I bet GANDHI gave his mother a run for her money some days!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
