Really?!

[jec]

I've been a part of a couple different forums of daycare support. I have to say that honesty is always wanted and some times you hear things that you don't want to hear but we may just need to in getting a different perspective. I think at the end of it all needs to delivered in a way that isn't being rude of offensive to the person asking.
In my cyber travels around to a few different daycare provider sites I have found that there were more negative, daycare hating providers on it instead of just venting for those things we all experience from time to time. Yes, we all have the those days where we hate our jobs and or a child in our care is pushing us to our limits and or parents doing something against our policies and we need some support to vent. We don't have co- workers and lean on each other for that. I find it sad that so many providers out there hated their jobs, hated the kids in their care and felt that at the end of the day having the kids just fed, kept clean and returned in one piece is their goal and feel it's very sad.
It's true when I read here once that another provider put after they know what they do about daycare, they wouldn't put their own kids in care. So true you know and so sad!
We are all in daycare for different reasons, one not better than the other but today I thought how sad to have been reading so many negative things.

This site has some great positive energy and thanks for that!! I've always valued the different view on this one and other sites just I guess finding myself disapointed and we all wonder why parents take so long to choose a provider.......
