I posted earlier about having a boy in my care, who I think may be delayed, nut the more I think about it, the less it's about delay and the more it's about mom and dad fostering snowflake being a baby.
I know some of you have been around A LOT LONGER THAN I.
But, I think I am over this...
I recently switched to providing shiftworker childcare, and as a result I get Monday's off, and I am still not "in love with being around the kidlets" I just can't find that "joi de vive" that was once there...Mind you, I was never the "shoot rainbows out of your bum" type anyways.
I just can't seem to handle babies that take FOREVER TO TRANSITION because parents set a totally different standard at home, undoing any work I have done at daycare. I just gave in and turned on a movie for an 11 mo old that has spent the last 45 mins in her pack and play screaming. And, I NEVER DO THIS.
-Kids that at 12 mo can't hold their own bottles or cups because parents hold them for them
-Kids that are bullies
-Parents and their unrealistic expectations regarding my roll (Potty training, Sleep, Eating, One on one etc)
--Kids's that won't grow up because parents "set the bar low for them."
Help me to get my joy back...Oh and I do take time for me, I have a contract, take sick time, etc. And, also I do pride myself on my interview process, but am def. open to something, cause it's gotta give.
