Update on the Daycare Problem

So, I just wanted to give an update on my son and daycare. Obviously I made the decision to take him out of  the daycare where I found him playing in the road. I decided for the rest of the semester to have him home with me since most of my classes are online. I remember how stressed I was at the beginning of the semester with him, but it's actually better now. I have all my classes organized and know exactly what I need to do and when I need to get it done. So this week went surprisingly well even with the three exams I had to take. I also have a 5 month old daughter Kaitlyn, but she has always stayed at home with me since all she does is sleep anyways. It will be sad when I have to take them to daycare in the fall, but at least they will be together. I also have the slight chance that their granny might watch them. She kind of hinted the other week that she was thinking about quitting her job and watching them while I was in the respiratory program. If she does decide to I will be one happy mom! She is one of the best mother in laws I could ask for and if she would watch them I would have no worries whatsoever. Although, before I started college I did work and had to bring my son to a daycare since he was three weeks old. So, I can handle it if I do have to take them. It is just more stressful to trust someone that's not family with the most precious things in your life. I'm probably really paranoid, but I feel like all mothers feel guilty for leaving their babies with someone else. It's just in our blood to care about the well being of our children. You may say why not just stay home if it bothers you that much, but I need to do this for myself and my family. My husband just makes enough for us to get by, but when I graduate he will be able to go to college and we will be better off financially. I want my children to grow up being able to be invlolved in whatever sport they want or have that extra help when they go to college. I never cared about going to college until my children were born. Many things change when someone is counting on you for their future. I hope someday my kids will understand why I chose to go to school and I hope they will be proud of me for making that choice.

  1. You are NOT paranoid! We are in the same situation. To save money, we probably should take Bella out of daycare. My mother in law has offered to watch both kids next semester for me.. I agree, it's hard with kids and trying to trust people outside of the family.
