[quote=Anonymous]Transitions are especially tricky. Cut yourself a break. I have also been doing childcare this week before camp starts (DH and I trading off days this week) and the first full day with my kids the morning went great and then the afternoon was just everyone (including me) being irritable and bickering. We just weren't used to it and it's hot and I think we were all just responding to being out of routine. The kids were whining about wanting to see their friends who they literally spent the previous day with all day on the last day of school and then I was annoyed at their whining becasue I was taking the day off work to hang out and they were rejecting me and demanding their buddies instead. Each day has been progressively better and now today I'm a bit sad they have camp all next week and am looking forward to our long weekend for the 4th and getting to do camping and smores and all that.[/quote]
