That's terrible bright sparks...I was seeing red just reading your post! A big THANK YOU to the media for saying such horrible things about home daycares, and putting us ALL in the same category as a woman who killed a child. Honestly now that this whole thing has hit, I have realized that once my youngest is in school I'm outta here. I am so discouraged and saddened by what the media has put out there. Honestly when I opened my daycare I really thought I would be in this for the long haul as I LOVE it, but it's just not worth it when EVERYONE ELSE thinks YOU'RE not worth it. I've been feeling like garbage over this whole thing. I am still somewhat in shock at how we were attacked instead of supported through some new training programs, or a registry as was proposed by the CCPRN. This whole thing has just been a slap in the face and I hate it. We don't deserve this.
Rant over.
