I happen to want to work, and think that daycare will be good for my monster. I also think that it is perfectly okay to want nice things and I feel no need to be a martyr to my children. Further, I am comfortable that I can teach my child my morals and values despite her being out of my strict control every second of the day.


And the last thing a parent who is in distress about finding a good, safe, affordable place for her child to be wants to hear is that she should stop working and stay at home so her child won't become an amoral monster.

For pete's sake.

I tried to be a SAHM. I'm just not cut out for it. I love my job. So, even if I had the option to stay home with the kids again, I'd PASS! I will stay home during the summers but still get a sitter to watch them so I can go into the office for a few hours a week.

My daughter has a good day care provider that she is really happy with since she put the grandson in daycare (he just turned 3). I don't know the age that she starts accepting the children though. I will ask her and PM you if she takes babies.

Getting the license can be a pain in the butt. Then you have to deal with upset parents when you have to close due to an illness (as in your child has the same illness that would ban a client child from coming) or scheduling vacations or doctor visits or ...

Sometimes being a home childcare provider just isn't worth the $$.

I guess this is where we got lucky. Our provider has no kids, and has no intention of having kids. She loves the idea of taking care of everyone else's kids during the day, then being able to send them home, lol. So besides the two, 1 week vacations she takes a year (if she takes them), she is always open. Our 6yr old was with her previously, and honestly, in the 6 yrs we have sent our children to her, she has never once called out. She is awesome. I would highly recommend her, but she lives in PG County, so I think that's way out of your driving distance. :)

Dameron Daycare. Look it up. Mary Norris is amazing!! Her center has been open 20 years, but she's been at it maybe for eight. She treats every child as if he or she is her own.

I could be wrong, but I think she's getting ready to open another center in St. James by December (?). She may have openings then.

Opinions are like orgasims. Every one has one, but only yours matters. Do what makes you feel good. Not everyone wants to stay home. Babies and kids grow up in child care every day and turn out to have morals and values. Some kids have SAHMs and grow up to be serial killers.

Your baby will be fine. You will be fine. You just need to find the right happy place for you both where you are comfortable. :huggy:

maybe, maybe not .... depends on the size of the house you want, how bad you want that new(er) car ........ if you are willing to sacrifice someone can stay home with the children .....

Thank you so much everyone! :huggy: I appreciate everyone's help. I found a daycare (home daycare) that I really like and has come with a few recommendations from friends.

I am so thankful.

Thanks for taking this seriously. I was on my way to having a nervous breakdown. Everyone's kind words have eased my mind a lot.

Thank you for all of the PM's too. :love:

Glad you found some place! :yahoo: I was also really nervous about doing home care. I had a good friend/neighbor watching him for the first couple months and when she could no longer do it I was heartbroken and terrified. I think the home care place he's in now is absolutely fantastic. Most of the day he gets plenty of individual attention, there's one other baby (well, toddler) and the rest are elementary school kids who are only there for a little bit after school. He loves all the kids there (he's 10 months now) and has 3 "girlfriends" LoL.

But yeah, I was initially worried but I am totally loving it now.

:yay: It is sooo stressful, I know. Hopefully that will work out for you and you don't have to go through that again, it's tough.
