Really struggling - vent

[QUOTE]I will be honest ... being in this field is like riding a roller coaster ... it has its ups and its down and both are 'normal' ... just have to stay on top of yourself to make sure your ride has more ups than downs /QUOTE]

I think it is important to recognize that in any career, there are days we just can't do this anymore. So, we have a pity party, vent to friends, and then wake up one morning and decide it isn't so bad. I may be new at the daycare thing, but I've been married for 34 years. Some days I think my hubby is the most amazing man in the world, and sometimes I don't like him at all.... After all these years, that doesn't worry me anymore.

This is so very true ... your business is just like any relationship it takes effort and commitment to make it truly work! One does not want to accidentally throw the baby out with the bath water when all that was needed was some clean water to remedy the situation

It's SO true!! And the second you start thinking but "John" down the street does the laundry, bathes the kids etc for HIS wife.....one day you'll hang out with "John" and see a, b & c things that he does or doesn't do that you would NOT want.....it's that old saying the grass is always greener.....but sometimes that means it's because it's fed with bullsh!t!

Hang in there......how about changing up your routine so it's something new & different?

LOL i hear ya!! But to be totally honest, I have NO right to bitch about my husband lol sometimes I feel like he's a little too addicted to money and I am afraid sometimes that he will be upset about something when he really isn't. His boss called him yesterday and told him his section was being rearranged and his boss would no longer be his boss which meant his promotion wasn't as concrete as we originally thought...problem was, he never told me this so when he got super upset about the little girl leaving, I was confused and hurt because I didn't feel like he was supporting me. But he's better now. And he's on board with everything.

And he supports me in every other way, too. We have a rule on the weekends where we can't leave the house Saturday until the bottom floor is clean and we have assigned rooms and we can't leave the house Sunday until the top floor is clean and we have assigned rooms. He does the laundry every weekend - I haven't done laundry in two years (mostly because he hates the way I do it LOL) and every now and then he'll clean up during the week. Household chores still become the brunt of some our "competition arguments" (who does more) but he comes home to a clean house and supper on the table so sometimes I have to remind him that I do A LOT during the day whether he sees it or not. We have a really great partnership and all the other dads around me are deadbeats LOL so I thank God every day for him...but sometimes...there's always those instances where I wish he would let me stay home without working...but honestly..it's not 1956 anymore..as much as I wish it was sometimes LMAO

Anywho, I am feeling a lot better about everything today. And my patience is up and my desire to BE with the kids is up. I've also decided to take on some writing jobs on the side since this is my real passion and hopefully I will find a new child soon enough!!

Thanks again everyone for your support. I love you all more than you even know!!!


PS: if you need anything written, I'm your gal! LOL

I meant this as a comparision on your current job vs getting another one. Think of your current job as your husband and a NEW job as "John" it isn't always GOOD but in the end it IS better!!
