Shannie, you just hit the nail on the head. It is NOT suposed to be that stressful. When you get your newest baby to finally stop screaming and become a happy part of daycare life and he finally mixes in well with the other children who know all the rules and routines and your days are filled with fun and laughter, inside and outside and the days run smoothly. (Or is that just me, haha)

You're run off your feet and exhausted from doing a great job at the end of the day but there shouldn't be any behaviour and stress that you're going through right now. I'm glad you talked to the parents and laid it on the line that they MUST find the solution and let you know how they are handling it. I really believe that kind of consistency is the only way to turn things around.

I can't believe she totalled your easel like that! Wow! Good luck with this one.
