[quote=Anonymous]Live-in, so no commute.  With this family, it’s a minimum of 45 hours per week, sometimes upwards of 60 with all the extra tasks.

Working with kids with special needs is draining.  Anything is draining if the child doesn’t want to do it.  Making kids practice an instrument, sport skills, do homework, chores, other things...  it’s all draining if they don’t want to do it.  And unlike toddlers and preschoolers, I can’t make it a game or sing a song to magically make it fun.

For my next family, I’m hoping for no special needs, either not school age yet or neutral/positive outlook for school and school work, and a reasonable number of activities per child.  I don’t mind driving, but when I’m out of the house for over half of my afternoon/evening, it’s hard on kids and me.

If I’m just playing, singing, incorporating learning and chores into daily life, incorporating activities into the schedule as needed/wanted...  Then, I have more energy at the end of the day than I did at the start.[/quote]
