Pros:
no children talking to – AT! – me at all times (for no reason at all sometimes)
no tantrums and hissy-fits, no talking back, no yelling, no stubbornness (only from grown ups, but they’re easier to ignore)
no added stress of being responsible for a, not-even-my-own, kid’s life
no having to watch cartoons
no playground visits/running around in the melting hot weather
no wondering when the parents arrive home so I’ll remotely know when I get to go home
no wondering when the parents arrive home so I’ll remotely know when I get to go home
Cons:
no money
no money…
and have I mentioned the small inconvenience of having no money come from it?
I have two other jobs aside from this. But still, it’ll be missed…
How about you guys? Do you have an extra job you’ll miss over the summer?

The pros do sound wonderful (mostly about relief, freed-up time and less stress), but the cons a major bummer. I hope something that feels nourishing for you (including income) sneaks in to fill the void. xo

Yes, I’m all for the pros. The cons… well who (ever) likes those? Thank you for being here!
