Am I the only one?????

Well I do think it depends on your own personalities. One or the other ... I don't think being on one side or the other makes you better or worst it's just different. I love my daycare kids of course not like I LOVE my OWN children. I have cried over a child however and I will probably cry again. I do put a lot of time and effort for hem and I do get attached. That does not mean I will allow anyone to disrespect me in anyway. I am in a business and will do what I have too. I'll feel sad and horrible maybe ... for a day and I'll move on. No biggie !

I am the same as crafty, I could never do this job if I didn't love my kids. I'm greatful for providers like this as that's the kind of daycare I sent my DD to. The emotional side is due to seriously caring about each child's well being and developmental milestones. It's tough when we give our all and parents don't really appreciate everything we do. All I can say is that if I know I'm giving and caring 150% then The rest speaks for it self. I have only had one family in 3 years that I was happy to say goodbye to and it breaks my heart the lifestyle that child is exposed to.
