My darling daughter starts daycare this week, only two days a week and only have days but I am a bundle of nerves. She will do fine and it will likely be harder on me then on her, but it is still keeping me awake.
Are nerves a right of passage with all moms when it comes to putting your child in daycare, home-care, JK or wherever?
How do I know that it is the right place? Will they really take care of her, and know that a hop and skip aren't signs of excitement but more that she has to go to the potty? Will they know that she gets hungry at 11'ish even when she has had a snack? What about if the other kids pick on her, how do I protect her?
So many questions that I bet all moms ask, but it's still not making me feel better....
I have to agree with Paula, owner of momstown Kitchener-Waterloo that I am so not ready for this! Good to know that she is going through the same thing as me, and I am really not alone.
momstown Toronto connects and supports Toronto moms with little ones ages 0-6. Welcome!
I can relate Tara - when L was D's age I did the same, 2 mornings a week and it was the best thing for both of us. But it was the 1st time we'd been apart - there was a sad transition (for both!) but then it was wonderful. Sometimes it's good to let go a little.
