Kidlove...I totally feel your pain. Have a good cry and get it out. I have only been doing daycare for a year and a half, but I recently moved and the two siblings I had had since I opened my daycare almost, did not come with me to the new location. This was totally understandable, but the parents didn't tell me until after the older child's last day with me...and then only because I asked! It hit me really hard too and when I read the email, I had to go into the bathroom and cry...and then I cried on my husband's shoulder. I didn't think it would effect me like that, but I poured my heart and soul into those kids! And yes, you do get attached over time. After that I have vowed to myself not to get so attached and not to go out of my way for anyone...just do my job well, but no extras. It sucks when things like this happen
