[quote=Anonymous]It sucks and it's the most difficult part of the job, even worse than the bad conditions that lead to leaving a job (when it's not just kids getting older or nanny needing to move or what have you). But you just have to start looking even though every interview makes you sad. You just have to do it. And when a great offer comes in, you just think practically. You tell yourself "this is exactly what I've been looking for and I have to take it." And then you do. And when you leave the old position, you'll feel so sad and it will take a while to feel ok again. But hopefully you'll still be able to talk on the phone or babysit on date nights or meet for lunch. And even though you still love the kids, most days will be fine. And when you miss them terribly, you remember all the cuteness and you remember that you were never supposed to be there every day until they're grown, and you are thankful that you got to be such a big part of their lives for the time you had with them. And when you're caring for the new kids and you haven't bonded yet and it feels so empty compared to the family you miss so much, you just remind yourself that it took time to bond with the kids you now miss, too, and that it's ok.

Tl:dr- you make decisions from a practical place, not emotional, and you take the time to heal. And you give yourself a lot of grace.[/quote]
