    Get rid of the biter and then wait and see if that changes the dynamics.
    Also go to Canadian tire and get a free standing pantry (or two) with doors and arrange your toys on the shelves and put child locks on the handles only open one each day and at the end if the day (or tidy up time) the toys are put away with tge kids doing most of the work and the doors are shut and you don't have to look at them. You wont always feel like your at work. If they are misbehaving they don't get to open a door and they only get to play with what's always out.... Book center, dolls, kitchen center , tool bench.... What ever you always have out.

    So.. I have decided to keep the biter till first week of August as that is when I'm taking two weeks off and his mom goes on mat leave.. The other two kids that are stressing me out I have decided to terminate.. Now I'm trying to decide how much notice to give them.. My contract says 2weeks but I also don't want to be a b*tch... Hubby says end of June but I almost have anxiety thinking ill have them another full 4 weeks.

    If your contract says two weeks, then that is all you need to give. Do you think they would worry about giving you more than two weeks of notice if they decided to pull the kids out? Not likely. Do what is best for you as that is all you can do!

    If I want to be nice and give a longer notice I would give them till the end of June but let them know that that was the maximum date and that if they found care sooner they were free to leave with no notice. Normally they will be so angry they will take the first place they can find and get out of your way just to be mean.

    Holy crap, good riddance to the screwball family. So sorry you had such a stressful week. Have a wonderful, restful weekend knowing that it is over. Best of luck in the new chapter in your life.
