Wow!!!! Reading your post made me feel like I was looking in the mirror. Every part of the way you feel...so do I! I was just where you are a few years ago, as far as letting the Day Care run you!!! Just like a ton of the rest of us here I'm sure. I too, allowed the needs of all the Day Care families to far exceed the needs that where met for me and my family as well. I since have changed my hours from a wopping 12 hour day!!! for 7.5 years! to a 10 hr day (with the exception of one family, but the child now comes in in her pj's and lays down for about 2 hours each am) and the MOST important thing I learned to do was, "SAY NO!" No more letting the Day Care Parents choose the pick up and drop off, no more being manipulated and made to second guess myself. This is a draining job.....if you don't stop to take care of your self, you will not only burn-out but you will have a ton of resentment along the way. Tell this Mom today that you will be changing your hours, give her a few weeks notice and start taking care of you!
You should be really proud of yourself for even considering to do this, now follow through!!!!!!!!
