[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][b]I have a right to be concerned about the emotional well being of their children[/b]. I kinda have to. I am there all the time. I actually don't make that awesome of a salary, but it's all right. It pays the bills. I just find this to be a pattern in the jobs I've had and trust me, they are not super high paying. I love the children and that is why I do it. However, I may have reached burn out or like others have suggested, perhaps I need to find employers who are more involved in their children's lives where I feel more like a compliment to them, not a substitute. [b]And yes, they are harming their children...emotionally.[/b] That is just as important of an aspect of their development as any other. Don't tell me to change how I feel. If you have absent mom guilt, then that is your issue, so don't tell me how to feel about.[/quote]

The problem is not with how you feel, it is how you think.

It's nice that you are concerned with the emotional well being of the children, but it gives you no rights to judge anything that parents do. Further, your assuming that you know what is emotionally harmful for children is just your opinion. You don't seem to understand that opinions don't make you correct and it is incredibly inappropriate for you to judge your employers (especially as negatively as you have done here) because they don't do what you think they should do.

You should definitely leave the field. Your attitude is rigid and not conducive to supporting working parents.[/quote]

Excuse me, but you obviously did not see my entire original post where I clearly stated that the preschooler is always crying cause he rarely sees his mom or dad. It makes me feel terrible. I can judge all I want as I am here more than they are. It's not simply that they are working parents. I get that. It is that they have this need to be gone ALL THE DAMN TIME even when they are not working! I hate how it affects the kids and therefore how it is began to affect me. [/quote]
