    Can you rent a house close to your work and put on lease the one you currently have (if you have a mortgage)? That would save you time and money on gas. Your current job sounds like a dream job when having children and your employer sounds amazing. The reason I quit my job and I did not look into other companies and did daycare instead was because my previous position was very demanding. I had to work after hours, sometimes work at home and travel. If I was offered something back then like what you have I may have never considered home daycare, since I did not have a childcare degree or daycare experience back then. Also, you may want to consider that your kids are older now and in summer you may have to be doing toddlers activities instead of spending time doing activities your kids enjoy.

    Well, even if your current job sounds great you may have to consider what makes you happy. Currently I think I would not go back to work outside since I really enjoy my current job, and the main deal is that I can stay all day with my own children when they need me the most (a toddler and one on his/her way)

    Thanks everyone for your replies! It's a hard decision. Again I love my job and the flexibility and would be crazy to leave it..I have been feeling this way since about March while I was at work. I even did quit after I had an argument with another employee, however my employers asked me to stay on as thy would make arrangements for the other employee. So i stayed on. I have been out of the daycare now for just over 2 years and I remember how crazy and mentally draining it could be.. But I'm tired of commuting and these early mornings and rushed nights. I could potentially make more money doing daycare which is a plus, but getting the clients would be key. My family thinks if he crazy to quit my job..but I just feel I had more time for my kids. They were above average academically because I had the time to teach and help them, now they are failing most tests because I simply do not have the extra time at night to help them. Im stuck!!
