Swallowing my pride, admitting I took on too much, and letting a family (of 2) go

[Fun&care]

That is definitely a lot of kids, I personally would not be able to handle that much. If you can't do this, then terminate. Don't let yourself get so overwhelmed that you burn out. Letting that family go will be hard, on you AND on the mother, but it doesn't matter. You are not doing anyone a favor by pushing yourself to the edge. Terminate, then as your current crew matures a bit, maybe then you will feel like adding more kids. Take things slow, especially at first. I just recently started too, and there is so much to do in the beginning even when you thought you had it all covered, it helps to have a few less kids so you can get organized. Take care!
