Does anyone else have problems with feeling unappreciated?

I opened my dayhome 4 months ago and I did not anticipate how difficult dealing wth parents would be. Everyday a parent does something different to blow my mind. For example yesterday I had one child's parents forget his wipes (for the third day in a row) and one parent forget diapers. The parent who forgot diapers also showed up 10 minutes late to pick up wih said diapers and no apology and thanks. Then this morning my first child of the day that causes me to wake up at 5:30am didn't even show up with no warning. I could have slept an extra hour but they just didn't even care.

It's not like I'm a push over I always tell the parents when they have done something wrong and that it will not be accepted next time but the fact they do it the first time weighs on me. They are paying 750 for full time care and expect me to pay for diapers and wipes? Get real! Every parent talks about how crazy there schedule is with no second thought to how my schedule is! I have parents showing up 5 minutes late all the time and it just drives me crazy! Both these parents that do this are already at home they could be here on time.

I took on 3 drop in clients which I now know I need to drop because even though they all signed contracts saying pick up and drop offs need to be communicated and followed they seem to think the contract was a joke.

End of rant but seriously I feel so unappreciated all the time. This is so different than any other job I have done because I giving these kids all my love and energy and there parents just want more and more.

I'm not sure how long I will be able to keep my dayhome running if all parents are like this.
