[quote=Anonymous]Hey all, I am a first time parent with a 6 1/2 month old. Me and my husband both work from home and will be indefinetly, so far we have been juggling taking care of the baby and working on our own with no help. My husband was able to be part time until 2 weeks ago so he was the main caretaker as my job is super demanding. Now we are both full time (remote). we are hesistant to put the baby in daycare just yet due to the high cost and the new variant circualting, plus we are abel to manage it all for the most part (though it is not easy). But we want to get him in daycare at some point when socializaiton starts to be important. What age woud you say that is - 18 months? We are new to the area and we dont know a lot of people let alone alot of people with babies, so I want to find a community and have him be around kids when it starts to be a thing. What is a good time to do this in YOUR opinion? I know every kid is diff, but generally speaking, shoudl he already be in daycare? Is waiting until 11- 13 months going to be ok? We wont be able to juggle work and taking care of him past his first year, especially because we wont have time to bring him to the park etc.  Ideally would like a nanny since im paraonid about covid, but too expensive for us, and its of course hard to find a nanny who wants part time work.  A

In general I wish i knew people / had a social group with kids. I really want that for the baby when he is older, but I am guessing that stuff mostly comes naturally as he joins school, right? Im seeing people I grew up with having 1 yr old bday partieis for their kids with tons of kids around and Im like dang, that will so not be my baby's experience next year. Damn social media!

Thanks for your helo
