Does any one ever feel like they just want to walk way from family childcare?

I feel like quitting every time there is 'one of those days' and I feel like just calling each parent and apologizing and saying I can't do it. Then the next day comes and usually becomes better again.

I think I strongly get the urge to go on Monster.ca or workopolis to look at other employment about every 4-6 weeks but then I see the salaries, calculate my own daycare expenses for my own kids into it and feel calmed down again.

I have some parents come later but they do have enough respect to call. If a parent doesn't call and I am expecting them then I will make an overly concerned call to them that sends them the message that I am worried if they are okay and that I was expecting them and that usually makes them feel guilty enough to apologize profusely and call from that point forward.

Most of the time I am okay if people want to come late as long as I know when. It is fine as long as it isn't a day we are going to Early Years or somewhere else. I hate having a baby that just had a BM and I want to change them but am waiting for the doorbell to ring and getting stuck in the 'should I do it or should I wait?" babies always have the best timing. Nothing like being in the middle of a potty session or a diaper change and you hear the door bell. ahhh
