    I feel for you! I am in my 4th year and can honestly say my first year was the hardest. It has gotten much better over time. Great advice to embrace free time; they learn so much during that time. I also make it a practice to close my door at the end of my daycare day and that's it. Everything related to daycare is done during daycare hours and during nap time I spend time with my feet up and a cup of tea to decompress. Also, my whole reason for opening, staying home with my children no longer applies...they're in school and to be honest...sigh of relief. There goes my parent of the year award...but for me, my own son was my stress in my day...buttons!! Now, after school time is fun! I missed him all day. Explore what is really bugging you...do you need to term that one troublemaker? One day I cleared out all of the battery operated and noisy toys...wow, what a difference! I can assure you, for me, it got better
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.
