i put layla in in september when she was 2 1/2 and logan will be going in january when he is 1. i felt really bad for the first two weeks when she was having problems settling but now she loves it and gets so excited every day when she goes.

It gets easier the more they adjust. The first few weeks are the hardest.

yeah i know he gets better day by day but i have no choice to send him 1 month earlier because of availability ,, you basically snatch up whats available here and time to adjust....I just feel terribly guilty leaving him...

It will also get easier on you the more he adjusts

it hasn't been very long. i'd give it more time for him to adjust and i'm sure he'll love it soon enough.

are you looking forward to going back to work?

yeah ingi youre right...as always!

bridge, hell no!

My daughter is staying with a friend of mine's mother and sister, so she's not in an actual daycare. But today was my first day back to work and her first day with them. She is only 7 weeks old; I absolutely hated leaving her there this morning. I cried all the way to work; and just typing this now my eyes are tearing up again. I really wish that I could stay at home with her, at least for the first couple of years, but our finances don't allow for that. I'm hoping leaving her gets easier with time. I know she'll be in good care, but it's just the thought of not being with her every minute of the day.

Sorry you're having such a hard time. Jenny started nursery full-time in september & she loves it. It'll probably just take a while for him to get used to it.. try not to feel guilty though, he's in safe hands!

after all the horrible things that have happened in daycares in florida, i cant bring myself to put my kids in 1

thankfully Rob makes super good money and we can afford to live on 1 income.

he'll adjust, girl.. they always do.. right now its just seperation anxiety... prime age for it.

well, today i picked him up and he was playing and having fun. He didnt even wanna run in my arms like the other days....could it be ?! lol

lol dont speak too soon but hopefully!

Rowan was 8 months when she went into daycare.

The first two weeks were horrible, and I cried along with her.

It's still not going great, but it's better. She wasn't eating or sleeping there at first, but now she is doing those things. As soon as she sees me she bursts out in tears and starts crawling towards me and reaching for me, and every time I leave she still bawls. It's sad.
