Is there anyone here reading that has moved on from daycare?
I would like to be finished with daycare by the end of the year.
There are several reasons I am finished mainly the parents, my partner, a yes I am sad to say the kids.
*I am partner with my Mother and for many years there has been tention about work load, 'this way' or 'that way', and personal issues.
* I feel used and abused by some families. I have policies that are inforced...but I have learned just about every lesson the hard way.
* %75 of my DCK are rouwdy, rude, kicking, screaiming preschool boys. I just cant seem to get a handle on them.
I am STRESSED to the max and have an amazing opertunity to move on from daycare and start a life and family of my own. I am 27, single (I am not married yet, but have a serious boyfriend) and have no children of my own. I live in a small town and there is nothing holding me here other than the daycare home that I co-own .
I love children but I do feel that love and excitement for childcare slipping away VERY fast. I know it is time for me to move on to a less stressfull job.
Am I a lazy person for wanting to have a job where I work and then come home and can have the rest of the night with out work? I know you ladies know that daycare is much more than a 40 hour week. I am OPEN 50 hours just to start with...then shopping, post office, bank, cleaning, prep, ect. I am planning to move to a much bigger town and hope to work in school food service. There are several positions open and I have 5 yrs experiance hospital food service/7 years daycare....I am hopefull it will be the right fit for me.
So anyone who has left daycare...what is like in the outside world? Do you like it?
I will be selling EVERY THING daycare related so there really is no going back if it doesn't work out.
