[quote=Anonymous]I could only imagine doing this if there was another family member in the child's life available to be there more often. You're talking about both being away from home most of the day (and nights) for years, and hiring outside caregivers to cover. That means you are the one the daycare will call if she's sick or has a behavior problem, and you're still the one who's supposed to "be there" for her, but you won't be ... This is not a "slam" on single mothers. The stress on you is going to be unbelievable. If you had grandma, or beloved aunt/uncle, or dad to be there when you couldn't be, this would be much more doable. You other option, IMO, is to basically turn over your paycheck to a live-in, high-quality nanny who can truly stand in for you and who your daughter can come to rely on like a second a parent.[/quote]
