Day Care Decision

Jul 30, 2007 12:31

I am feeling particularly lazy today. Not just nonproductive but LAZY. I blame my period. I need to shower while she naps so we can go to the store and get some much needed grocery items for the week ( Read more... )

This is exactly how I feel about putting Ruby into daycare. Everyone is pushing me to do it and I just don't want to. Plus, she's behind her peers and I feel that she learns a lot better with me and will not start talking just because kids are around her talking. I can take her to the play centre during the winter and she will have a new sister to play with next year. I just hate the push to put kids into daycare/preschool so young now a days.

I think you're making the right decision and I'm glad I'm not the only one not doing it.

Thanks :) I think if I needed to work or something, then I wouldnt hesitate, but I'm lucky that I can stay home and want to, kwim? She's it, and when it hits me as it occasionaly does, I realize I need to soak it all up and spend each moment I can enjoying our time together.

Yeah, that's how I feel. I choose to stay home, so I should be with her. If I worked, for sure she'd go to daycare, I have nothing against it, but I just wish everyone would stop pushing it on her. She's with her Mom and I think that's more important. I never went to daycare or preschool and I think I'm okay.

I wanted to say I am so glad your Lydia dressed as a fairy princess this weekend! You must be so happy. I knew it would happen, eventually! :-)

I am feeling very ambivalent about the whole preschool thing, too. I don't want to put her in such a structured environment so soon. And, she's not liking the 90 minutes at gym daycare twice a week, I guess she got into a fight with a little kid. She gets along so well with other kids when we go out, and she's gotten better about listening at storytime. I think I may put her in for the January session, but dunno.

My Lydia will be about her age if I put her in next fall. I'm thinking about trying story time again, but I dont know how it will go and am a bit nervous lol.
