lEeeek! The twins start daycare on july 2nd. I'm nervous. I feel bad that they're going in daycare before they're 1. Tho it'll be good for my oldest and I to get some us time.
I just wasn't expecting a spot so soon. They said between july-sept. I was hoping closer to Sept. I'm excited to start working tho. No idea where to look, and I cant start til Sept regardless. Its jusrca huge change. It bugs me thatother ppl are going to watch my kids grow up and hit milestones. They're great at the centre tho. Kiera went there when she was 3, and it helped her a lot.
If I could wait for another spit I would, but I get fully subsidized daycare, so I have to take it.
I say kudos to anyone who can afford this place without help. For infants it's 1300/mth!!! Who can afford that? They provide diapers, meals, and milk, but yikes.
Anyways, I kinda feel guilty for putting them in so young, but I have no choice
Yeah, what Ro said. It's really not that bad...it's good for them to socialize with other kids. Some of the worst kids I have ever met are kids that are not socialized with other babies/toddlers. Regardless, you're used to being with them daily so I'm sure it will be tough for a little while!
I was wondering why you cant go back til september as well. Its pretty great the centre provides diapers!! Plus food and milk, is that normal? LOL Ive never had any kids go to daycare so Im unfamiliar.
They will adjust though, you know that. Maybe you can gradually introduce them. A week of half days, then start full time, or something like that?
Well I have some time to look and it will be a lot easier without the babies to apply/interview. Everything will be great. I need to socialize Savannah more.
I can't go back to work til Sept because Kiera is out of school the end of this month. I have to see what kind of job I can get because I'd have to pay $320 for before and after care come sept, and depending on the job and hours, this may not be worth it. Her dad is supposed to pay half, but it will be a cold day in hell with some trips to the court house before that happened.
I am looking to work 9-3...we shall see.
I am sure they will be fine. There is an integration period the first week. They will be fine, but I am not sure about me lol.
I agree with what Mandy and what the other ladies said. It just takes a little adjusting and that will happen quickly. I started Tristan in daycare at 9 months and the first few days were horrible for me but he loved it. I really think that daycare is just so good for kids because it allows them to socialize regularly with other kids and there is always new stuff for them to do. Tristan gets so tired chasing everyone around so we moved his bedtime up from 7 to 6 and it works out wonderfully for me to get my homework and studying done.
Ahh... it'll be harder on you than them. The daycare sounds great though.
indeed
i feel for you! im not exactly sure when this is going to be my situation as well .. but i know its coming and really ......... i fear how bad itll hurt when i leave him to go to work......
honestly i think your LO's will be fine .. its more the mamas im sad for ....... im FTM so it kinda terrifies me since ive never had to let go like that before
My babe starts daycare in September, and i don't want her to but my mother in law (who cares for babe 3 days per week) has my sister in law's baby too starting july 2, and then my new baby when i go back in january, i cannot ask a 67 year old to watch 3 children under 2 and the daycare center only has an opening in september not january so, off she goes. i am making DH take her the first time. It will kill me.

so you can get daycare assistance for the babies but not Kiera? why is that, due to her age?
It is because she is in school full-time. All they have is before and after care for her, which is great, except she goes to school on the army base here, and there is not subsidy and min spots for civilians. Such a bummer becuase they twins go to daycare in a wing of her school.
Kiera's dad is supposed to pay for half of daycare, but he won't. I'll have to bring him to court. He's got this assbackwards way of thinking. Like....the daycare is so that you can work, and I don't need it, so I shouldn't have to pay. He is an idiot.
Heh, another thing... July 9-13 my oldest is at daycamp all day, twins are in daycare all day, and I have plans to get things done!!! One day I am finally getting tires put on the van, next day clean out the van, next day get my hair done and eyebrows waxed, then clean, clean clean!
I'm sure it's a harder thing to get used to, but once you're actually doing it you'll adjust. I hope it goes smoothly for you! Also I hope you get Kiera's dad to give you what you're entitled too! Ugh! That's a huge load of frustration right there.
