Just not into it anymore

[mickyc]

Oh I feel ya! I have my days too. I sent my daughter to daycamp too and can't believe how upbeat and fun the teachers seem. How do they manage to be so happy and keep up that energy with that amount of kids?

I know for myself my main issue is getting my daycare space redone after our flooding and once we get back down there it will be better.

Don't worry about programming! I personally have a full day pretty much of free play for summer and because of my current situation more TV than before. I have tomorrow off for a nice 3 day weekend and I need my break!

Also older kids aren't all that great either! I have a school aged sibling for summer and it itself has issues. Had to send an email to mom about some of the things she talks about that isn't appropriate for little kids.

I know that feeling. I've gone through phases where I went through everything you described. Faking it, not enjoying it, wanting to do more but no energy to follow through....and wanting to be with MY kids, not everyone else's! I think you and I both have thought seriously about closing before...and although I've decided to do this for another 1-2 years minimum (until youngest dd goes to school) I can't help but feel there are many days when I feel I have one foot out the door and I am so ready for something else and so done with dirty diapers!

Cut yourself some slack! You mentioned in a previous thread how much stress you are under. At this point in time with everything going on, is closing at all an option? I think you mentioned you might be moving out of town anyways? What if you let a client go and downsized?

Remember there is more of them to children than there is of you to yours under your care, that for one is why they have more energy I'd say.. I am limiting myself to 5 max including my own so I don't feel overwhelmed ongoing, even then it might be.
