I have a lot of moral issues also on how parents bring up their children (mostly no discipline) and it drives me nuts. On top of that I have MANY more reasons, no matter its done now and I have three weeks left

First, BIG CONGRATS ON YOUR JOB ! HURRAY !!! Second, as I have been told : the importance is YOUR and your family's happiness that matters.

To answer your questions :

1) After having the same parents for such a long time, I could not face them to tell them the news. I wrote a very nice letter explaining why I couldnt tell them face to face and how much I love the children and will miss them but this decision is for my well being first and for most. At the end of the letter I asked for their understanding and kindness. I sent it by email on Sunday night. I got zero calls and zero respond, so I was very nervous to face them on Monday morning, but to my luck, EVERYONE was very nice about it and so now we go on. To be nicer I check out spots available in other daycares nearby to make sure they had options.

2) I did not give a specific reason in my letter. Again its none of their biz. But most had concerns about me and they asked if I was okay and I went on explaining how this biz is nice but I need benefits, insurance and a pension plan and how in the last year things have been difficult financially and dealing with the daycare. I might of given more detail then I had too, but they were nice and agreed with my decision.

There thats my story Best of luck and enjoy life !!

Thank you very much! It was nice to read this.
