However, sometimes I pick up wonderful bits of advice I can apply to my daycare and even to my life and that's why I love the forums.

Some people make me mad but once I get that vibe I don't read their posts ever. I respect a lot of people on these forums for their wisdom and experience and insights so I always read their posts. But I'm still going to do what is right for me and my situation and my daycare.
The isolation was and still is the biggest hurtle for me too!
I agree with what your saying too ~ I always listen to what other's have to say and take what I feel is right for the situation. I don't know where I'd be either without the support of the 'co-workers' on the sites. I was a part of a good one on facebook but I closed my facebook account- not a fan of it and miss the site though.
