My kids are ages 8-13, and they love love love the daycare kids. Yeah, sometimes they wish that I didn't have other kids here eating their favourite snacks, or touching their stuff, or sitting in their living room, or in their back yard, but I remind them that the alternative is them coming home to an empty house after school, or going to a daycare themselves. This hits home for them. I know they very much appreciate having me here. I also have to sometimes remind them that if I didn't have the daycare kids here, they wouldn't get an allowance. :lol:
