Perhaps it's a bit of a "grass is greener" phenomenon... because really, I'd much rather be pouring my time and energy, and my developmental know-how, into my own children instead of 30 or so children that belong to other people. Sure, my job is amusing and it's certainly nice with some of my children to hand them back because they're incredibly demanding, but I really feel like I'd much rather be pouring all of that work into raising my own little midgets.
And you should definitely find some sort of activity where you get out and interact with adults. Can you join a gym where they also have childcare or something? Then you could meet lots of adults! :)
Cleaning my house is fun because it's my day off. I'm sure if cleaning my house was my FT job I would find things to complain about. Instead it's my FT job after I already do a FT job. Ugh.
