Fussy baby |

| I have been providing childcare in my home for about six months. I watch one two year old and one now-eight month old. The baby is... incredibly incredibly fussy. I also have two kids- one three, one eleven months. I will get the baby up from his nap, change a poopy diaper, feed him his food, give him bottle, tickle him a little and then set him down to play and surround him with toys. TEN MINUTES LATER he will start sobbing hysterically until I pick him up. If my baby makes a loud noise, he wails and wails and wails. I don't know what is wrong, but I am feeling more and more hostile toward him, which I know is terrible, but he leaves me without a second to play with the kids or my baby, and I feel very resentful toward him. Should I tell his mother I can't watch him anymore or is that too extreme? Has anyone experienced something like this and overcome their feelings to the point where their relationship with the baby was a good one by the end of the childcare providing? I really want to do the right thing, and I hate the way I feel toward him, but I wonder if at this point it wouldn't just be better not to watch him anymore, or is that giving up too soon... let me know what you think.
