I don't know if its the season , or hormones or just frustration , but I'm so tired of dcparents !!! I feel like every time I'm to be paid I have families coming to me with complaints !! I mean its like they are resentful that they have to pay and then use that to bounce off several issues . They do not complain about my care of their children , just stupid things !!! Ie this is alot of money .... My pay check was short this is killing us ,"
I finally said to one family , is this your notice then ? Because I feel about ready to be done myself !!(didn't tell them the last part ) but Friday I had 3 families that pulled it !!' One family I terminated full time , one family is bringing their two dcgs but giving me the stink eye and her boyfriend now is coming to the door ??
I feel I'm doing a awesome job with the kids and putting alot of energy , time , and money into my program and I'm not getting complaints about my care I'm getting flack about how much they have to pay ??
To get started I charged alot less then I could of and was going to give everyone a rate increase to $35 a day but now I'm afraid I will lose most of them !!' And part of me is ok with it !!!
I feel like they see me as a relatives house !! Like I owe them something , one dcm said 'I know you love j---- '
Um you are a job , I really like my dck !!!! I do , but this is a job too !!
I'm ready to just increase everyone and then deal with the consequences !!!! There is no jobs right now and I have a time limit I'm going to continue in this area ( no one will come with me ) so part of me wants to close !!
I'm good at this job , I either suck horribly with parents or my parents suck , it's one of us !!!!!!
