Best parts
-being home with my own child
-being my own boss, setting my own hours/rates, making the rules and feeling more in control of my financial situation than when employed by someone else

Worst part
-meal time: spending time preparing food that isn't appreciated by the daycare kids, picky eaters that are catered to at home and fed junk by their parents and therefore won't eat anything remotely nutritious in my home, kids who dump/throw their food on the floor, kids who rub spaghetti sauce all over their face and in their hair and then scream when you have to clean it out, throwing out all the food that they won't eat because they don't want to try something new, cleaning up their mess three times a day, not being able to walk near the kitchen table without my feet sticking to something on the floor, washing all the dishes, having the picky kid come to me twenty minutes after he didn't eat his lunch to tell me he's hungry...
