Tuesday Talk
Well...we are doing it. We are looking into daycare options for our boy.
I can't even wrap my head around it. Literally I am just going thru the motions with it and trying not to think about it.
I wish I could stay home with him until he goes to kindergarten, but lets be honest, that is of no benefit to him. He needs socialization. He needs to be around other kids. He needs to explore more, do more and see more. And, as much as it hurts my heart, he needs to be able to be away from me a little.
I identify most with attachment parenting and gentle parenting and in my ideal world, I would just stay with him until he went off to school....but that wouldn't make for an easy transition.
So, we are looking into just 2 days per week. And that is a good start.
If I think about it, 2 days is only up to 20-ish hours if you assume each day will be 8-10 hours....so its not like he will all the sudden be there for hours on end day after day.
the whole thing makes me sad and gives me anxiety and is honesty kind of depressing. I say depressing because how sad is it that we have to pay someone else to watch our child so that I can go try to make enough money to get by. Like, UGH.
Yeah....thats about all I've got to say about that. We are going for a tour of a daycare next week...we'll see. We are not looking to start next week or anything we just need to figure out a plan for the near future. ugh.
