Thanks for your feedback. Like I said, I'm really not an awful person - I just can't continue taking the hit all the time - this is a job, not a hobby. I have bills too. =( I would let my the family know at the beginning of January (1 month notice) and like I said, I would make sure to connect them with a few good caregivers in our area. I hope they understand - and if they don't, well - like I said - I have to pay my bills.
