Yes! This happened to me too and it bothered me a lot! After 18 months of pretty much raising her kids, I didn't even get a thank you! And they were always happy with the care I provided. I have now decided to get a thicker skin and not get so attached to famlies...if possible! I guess parents don't think about the fact that we are human too and we might actually miss the child that we have put so much into. They treat it like just any service and don't htink about the human emotions involved in such an endeavour!
