Birthday Idea for a Mom

[Nottellin']

So, I choose to stay competitive. I choose to LOVE my job and what I do. And I choose to come onto forums like this to gain advise, support and other views.

I appreciate your view Judy, I think it's a horribly negative way to look at life and our carreer choice, but I appreciate it just the same.

So if you choose to get other opinions why were you so offended when Judy gave hers?

I have to ask...how long have you been running a daycare? I can garuntee that Judy has way more experience and child care hours under her belt then you. Maybe instead of getting defensive you should try to hear what someone with a ton of experience was trying to tell you.

Sometimes things like "make a birthday gift" trickle into other expectations and thus lead to real problems.

And I know you think what you are doing is valued...but it isn't. When someone values the job you do, the don't ask you to do more because they already think that you already do more then enough. This parent implied that you don't do enough and so he asked you to do more.
