yes... I've feel like that now. And I was just told one of my parents is having another one so now I'm wondering if I want to just phase out once she's on mat leave.

I think it's the winter coming. I'm having the worst time getting back into routine. I don't want to craft, Lunches look the same every day. UGH.

I have a couple of unexpected days off in the next 2 weeks so I'm just hoping that get's me through to Christmas.

My advise to you would be to deal with one thing at a time. Deal with the hitting, pooping, grabby child as you would with any child. Get the parents on board and start building a reason to terminate or build them into amazing clients. Then work on the rest from there.

And... take time to really think about your alternative... whatever that is. Just to see if the grass really is greener.
