[quote=Anonymous]I just think I'm not cut out for it.  I get upset when they use their phones all the time,  fail to clean up despite being told over and over. I'm envious of their days off and get annoyed when they spend it at home when I have my kids.  I feel that they are judging me when I let them play wii while I rest. I'm envious when they can go to the gym when I can't. Our out with friends.  I'm a single mom and when I get home I'm on with my jids. I can't use more hours to goto the gym or don't have a husband to split weekend duty so resentment builds.

I just don't have any alternatives to it. Nannies are too expensive for my budget and babysitters are too unreliable. SACC is full and I have no othere options.

Anyone else feel this way and how you got over it? My current au pair is really good and I like her and how she is doing despite the little things that drive me crazy. I know to pick my battles.

Sorry just venting and don't know what else to do. Dad is not in the picture to help.[/quote]
