I think most of the studies are for kids over about 18 months. we certainly wouldn’t want to take amy out of nursery, even if one of us didn’t work. she gets far too much out of it.

Cute pic!

You know, studies have shown that there are a lot of benefits to day care for children. They do better in school, make friends easier and are generally more adjusted. I know that doesn’t make it any easier for you when you miss your little Droolzilla, but maybe it might ease the guilt a little.

That is always such a tough event to deal with. I wish you comfort and luck as you work through this.

Oh, and thanks for the linkage :-)

Hope it all works out smoothly for all of you. Sounds like there is going to have to be a lot of getting stuff ready the night before. I have gotten into a habit of getting my clothes and bag ready for the following day the night before (when I’m at work) and it still pleasantly surprises me with what a difference this makes – extra minutes in bed and no running around like a headless chicken.

Both our workplaces are pretty flexible already. I work compressed hours and have every wednesday guarenteed off. Kerry used to work three days a week but got promoted to a full time job – which they allowed her to make part time and so she has fridays off. She’s had six months maternity leave, most of which has been on full pay.

One of us could quit our jobs of course, but that would put us just above the povety line and we would certainly have to move. Neither of us really makes enough money to financially support the other to not work.

That is harsh. Any chance your workplaces might work with you a little on this?
