    It really depends on your personal reasons for closing... although its none of their business. I couldnt face them in person so on sunday night, I sent them a very detailed letter about my sadness of closing and how I thanked them for their faith in me and how much the children will be in my heart forever (because they will). Only Monday morning when I faced them, to the parents who were just concerned of my well being and were worried (yes its possible that type of parents haha) I explained it was a mixed of emotions and worries between finances, not having any benefits, insurance or pension plan and also the anxiety I went through with some hard headed parents that I just couldnt not deal with that type of individuals.

    Of course when it comes to insurance I relied on my husband's but when we had a tough year it made me think... the meds we need, the specialist we consult... we can not not have any. Plus the pension plan :O I know this is all things to be considered BEFORE opening a private business, but guess you dont think about it before actually being in that position !

    Thats my story
