I find Mondays suck too...I don't know that there is a cure either I know for one thing that some parents have admitted their kids don't nap or nap less on weekends because they are so busy so obviously that doesn't help at all but I find my crew is still fairly manageable.

EXCEPT ONE. My "handful" 's mom is on mat leave right now so he only comes Monday because I have another family on a 4 days/ week schedule. The last couple of times have been awful. He has always been difficult- he doesn't even play, he just stands there holding a toy or blankie and often times will burst into tears for no reason. He cried most of this morning. I have actually seriously considered terming this kid as he has been with me for over a year and still just doesn't seem adjusted. I am going to phone mom in the next hour and let her know we need a break. I am just not able to watch him anymore but I might give it another shot next sept when he and his little bro and supposed to be back. Im hoping by then he will have matured a bit, well hopefully a lot!...fingers crossed!

So moving forward my Mondays should be a bit better!
