[quote=Anonymous]I start a new job in July, I just found out in mid-March. I had been looking at daycares previously and put in for some waitlists, but not some of the best ones because the waitlists were really expensive to even get on (I'm not in DC) and I started panicking about money which was stupid. Many of these places have 2 year waits. I have, of course, not heard from any of the places we've been waitlisted on.

I just found out that April 1 is the day many of these places start going down their waitlists and that means we are not on it because although I did get on several, I haven't had a chance to put DC on these coveted ones. I'm really sad. I was hoping for a really nice daycare situation for this child, as my older one's former daycare was not the greatest place. I feel like a failure. Like these last two weeks I should have scrambled more and insisted on getting on these other waitlists but other things got in the way (I'm involved in research, tutoring kids, trying to work out more, DH has been out of town nonstop, and life has just been hectic) but I feel like I should have pushed it all aside to do this.

I'm so stressed about it all that I haven't been able to sleep the last few nights. I'm terrified of what will happen if I don't have good care. DH travels so much and my new job is absolutely inflexible. We won't be making a ton either, so not enough for a nanny beyond the summer.

Thanks for letting me share.  :cry:
