Yes they have more 'resources' that we do but you NEED them and they are still not enough for what you have to deal with because you have NO CONTROL over your clientelle or coworkers .... I have had to work with kids who called me names that made me blush, who were SO AGGRESSIVE they threw tables in their tantrums and I have had to work with peers who 'lost' children because they cannot count or whose answer to every challenge was 'I do not get paid enough to do that' verses finding a solution and you have to do it with a SMILE because you are professional! Not to mention that you do not get to have a 'personal philosophy' for how to do things you have to adapt the 'centres' philosophy which often means doing whatever makes the client happy so you are in your program trying to balance a 1000 different 'parenting styles and philosophies' often which compete with each other cause they are so different ... I could go on and on about how much HARDER it is working with children in a regulated licensed centre but quiet time is almost over

We may have to wear all the hats and take on my risk financially but we honestly have it WAY BETTER
