Thanks so much I have been a bit of a hard a$$ with the rules... I know the moms are not intentionally complaining. I have heard it gets easier. I didn't feel this way prior to my two new kids.. Perhaps they are the culprit? Time will tell.

Are they the weekend kids? Honestly, drop the weekends. It's not good for us to not have any down time. It made a (no exaggeration) massive improvement on my outlook. I've found too, that this time of year is beneficial. Our curriculum goes out the window. We might do a craft, but not often in the summer. Once nap is over, we're just outside for free play. I'll do a circle out there to keep in practice. Other than that, I might sit and blow bubbles, chase them around with a spray bottle of water, sing a couple songs, all pile up for a 'cuddle puddle', what have you.....but there's always a good chunk of time when I'm sitting on my butt having a cup of coffee while they play happily. It's pretty sweet! And after the heinously long winter, we've all earned a little frivolity

Yes we have been spending as much time outside as possible or at the park when. It's quiet there, but I have to watch them constantly so they aren't hitting or biting each other.. Throwing rocks or climbing the play house trying to go over the fence! My Saturday kids are the easiest but I did give notice to them that I would not be taking them July/August.

Hitting or biting? Throwing rocks? I would terminate the problem kids and you will find that your entire outlook will change. Maybe it is a case of a couple of bad apples ruining it for everyone.

I have heard of that being done...LOL. Are the parents working with you on the behaviours? I have kids who occassionally go through a phase of hitting or the worst, biting, but it sounds like your whole group is acting out. How old are these kids? What kind of consequences do you give them for aggressive behaviour?

The problem kids are ages 3&4. Our consequences are time outs... Not playing with their favorite toys and no sticker at end of day... The parents say they are working on it, but I don't think so.. The one that bites and hits his mom says its bc he is jealous of the older kids and if he says sorry he means it....

You need to sit down and decide what us best for you and your husband. TTC can be difficult if your stressed, trust me I know. Do what's best for you, can you go back to nursing or do your need to recertify?
