I admit something I didn't think I would feel. I will miss these little ones. I will even miss their parents. I'd like to try and stay involved with childcare without signing myself and my home up for constant germs. Maybe I will work part time or offer a mom and dad date-night service. I've learned a lot about how I'm not very good at putting up boundaries and sticking up for myself or my policies. That needs to change. Whatever next business I get into, I'll have this lesson and others with me. That's got to be a win, right? Opening and closing, and then, opening and closing again has made all this feel like a giant waste of time and resources. Can you tell? I'm a positive person, naturally. lol
This forum has also changed my political views a bit. Now I believe the universal childcare push is just to get more people working so more money can be spent on consumer goods. I believe I learned that from catherder. I think little ones should be at home with a parent for the first three years of life. After that, put them in school where they learn the basics. And by basics, I mean sharing, getting in line, taking turns, eating with utensils, playing without direction, and a whole lotta time spent outside and in deep discussion with whoever will listen about the world they see.
