    Heart broken :(

    So this is my second week with my new dck's. and last night my husband and I came to the conclusion that we are going to get separated. So I have to move back to the city and will have to close the daycare.. I was just getting settled in . How do I tell my parents... It hasn't been a full two weeks yet and I am moving out next week. So Friday is my last day. On top of that I had to cancel this morning because of the stomach flu.. Maybe it's nerves and not the flu but never the less I've been up for 24 hours and am in no shape to take care of any dck today...

    Sorry to hear of your separation. It's a pretty sucky time and I've been there myself. Take good care of yourself and lean on your girlfriends and family

    Do you have to move? Couldn't he move because your income depends on the home you're in? I'm sure your families will understand in the end that there's not much you can do about the situation.

    I'm sorry to hear you are going through a really hard time. As a person who has been there, I can't stress enough to you that you have to look after yourself emotionally and physically. It is the stress of the situation that will do you damage.
    Give the parents immediate notice stating an important family event has occurred that you did not forsee. Offer to write them reference letters to their next DCP and wish them well.
    When this happened to me, I felt that a bomb had gone off in my personal life..........now with time gone by and a step back perspective, I see it was one of the best decisions under the circumstances I could make. Take deep breaths and focus on what is really important now - you and your family. The dcparents will find another great provider.

    Sorry to hear of your separation.

    Maybe there are some providers on here who have room to take a kid. Where are you located?
    hopefully someone can help you out.

    DeeDee... if there's anyway (and of course, I don't know the circumstances), but if at all possible, I encourage you to fight for your marriage.

    All the best.

    Sometimes, it's best to know when to walk away. I don't remember her asking for marital advice.

    I know she didn't. There's no need to take offence.

    I'm not offended. I am, however, surprised at the liberty you've taken here.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
