No matter how much experience you have, you can always learn something new from others.
I've been blessed with great families and kids - making my job a whole lot easier.
Never be too quick to judge someone - stick around, read their many posts and realize that everyone here (with the exception of trolls, obviously) is coming from a place of concern and caring.
In the end, I can't remember how I stumbled across this board, but I'm glad I did .

I read about the issues others have with disrespectful, rude and poorly behaved children and parents and I realize how fortunate I am to have clients who appreciate me, value the service I provide and respect me, my home and my business.
If I get frustrated with something business related, I come here and read for awhile. It helps put my situation into perspective and I'm able to find a good solution.

I love you for saying that!! I just wish it was true....
I really only know what has and has not worked for me.
I learn new things and re-consider things based on what others say here almost daily.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

Thank You ladies, and Michael, for always being here.

Time is also important and the help of all the other mods makes it a lot easier. Actually, all of you have created what is contained in here. I am glad that there is now the technology available to offer so much to so many.

I was getting out winter gear from the attic..ugh...yuck. I dread that chore all summer.... How does it even get that smell??? I wash it before I pack it up...:confused:
Fun thread, though!! ::- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I wouldn't exactly call them "lessons", but I have learned there are 3 KEY issues. Of course, the forum helped me see my big issues are everyone's big issues.
1. Dealing with behavioral issues.
2. Dealing with parents and policy issues.
3. Operational, environmental and financial management issues.Last edited by Michael; 12-05-2011, 02:53 PM.

I have learned that while I still think I am overworked and taken advantage of by my parents, I let it happen by needing the work so much that I was afraid to make rules. Of my 3 parents, only one pays me in advance. I had no idea it could be done.
I learned that I need to explore more insurance options.
I learned that the things I though were so bad or irritating are nothing compared to some of the stories I've been reading!! I have a screamer that hates other children. I was trying to figure out how to drop her because she's so horrible, but now she doesn't seem so horrible. She only cries 7 out of the 12.5 hours, but she does eat and sleep, and when the other kids are gone, she smiles and laughs. I'm learning some new techniques to calm her--one of them worked!!!
I have learned that I am way more informal than most, but it seems to work for my parents, and since we are all happy, I guess it's good.
I've learned that I should have looked for this forum months ago!! You guys are great!!
