Hi
Glad things worked out with your marriage!!
10 hour days were the norm for me working outside the home. I worked 8 hours a day but travel time in the morning and back home were an hour each leaving me out of the home for 10 hours. I still had to come home, cook, clean, do laundry, homework with the kids, bath them, prepare lunches and snacks for the next day and so on. Even with my husbands (very little) help, I was exhausted and simply had no time for myself let alone my husband. I don't think the issue is so much the daycare you were running, but was the simple fact that are a wife and a mother. It's the same thing whether you work or run a daycare-either way it's hard!

I use to run my daycare as just "babysitting" and it ran amazing. I never had more then 3 kids at a time and had plenty of time to sneak in folding laundry or an hour conversation with my mom, etc.

Again, the problem doesn't lie within running the daycare, it's just the day to day life we all have to live!!
