Don't misunderstand me, I have terrible down times when I don't want to change any more diapers or sing any more children's songs or even hear their voices for a while! That's why I take a vacation week every 3 months. One time at an interview a Mom asked me "You must miss them terribly when you go away on vacation?" to which I gave her the deer in the headlight response but I zipped my lip so I didn't say "Are you kidding, I NEED a break from them every 3 months."
But also, I think back to my last job where the management treated half of us like the stuff you see in diapers every day and I came home feeling worse than I ever had in my life and I stuck that out for 10 years. So even though this job isn't intellectually stimulating except for my surfing the net daily to find the craft of the week or checking in with my forum pals daily, this job is doing my health, attitude and well being a lot of good.
Also, Daycare123, at the park if any child wanders off they go directly into the stroller and are left there for the rest of the park visit. That teaches them quickly that they should NOT wander off and they MUST listen to my rules. Hope that helps.
