This is my first year and it is not easy I believe you 100% and I run a all day !! The past summer with my own girls (school age) here as well full day with the little daycare kids was the worst, constant fitting... what the... ?!?! My grown daughter fitting with a three year old, like... yah !!

The parents thing, the food thing, the pay thing, the space in our home thing, our own family around thing... there is a lot more to consider then just taking care of children... very overwhelming :\

Nobody can tell you it will get better. I did read once that this job is not for everyone. You have to be happy in what you do, that its daycare or that its something else. If you are set on keeping this and trying with new kids next year, then you'll see if it gets better ?!?

If you want to go one with your daycare and you need help with certain issues, take it step by step and find solutions for each I guess. Like how to make snack easier, how to have parents trust and most importantly... respect, how the children can play nicely etc etc...

The new year is coming... new year, new start no ?!?
