Just not liking my job lately

[5 Little Monkeys]

As long as you are doing stuff that you enjoy than that is fantastic!! I'd also classify some of that as downtime. When I do my artsy projects, that's my downtime, my time to destress!! It's when we get caught up in doing things we feel obligated to but don't want to do, that's trouble!! Saying no is okay!!

I've had one family for sure leave for that same reason! She only got 2 weeks vacation and unless she wanted to take it at same time, I can see how annoying that would be. It's why I stress so much during interviews to have a plan for my holidays in place. I refuse to feel guilty (well more than I already do! Lol) for taking some me time.....just like many of them do!

This mom just moved here a year and a half ago (when he started with me). She has taken 3 full weeks of holidays already, plus multiple extra Monday's and Fridays (like this weekend). I know now I was the "good enough for the time being" provider as they have been on the centre waiting list since they started with me. She did make the comment how it's ridiculous it takes a year and a half to get a call. Gee lady thanks!!! Anyways I am letting it go. Lol

Unfortunately there are always going to be people who like centres better than homes but there's lots who prefer homes over centres too!!

Some people have no choice due to shortage of spots in ALL types of dc to take what they can get until what they want comes along. That's life and applies to so many other things than just dc. When it happens, I try to keep that in mind and remember it isn't personal.
