[quote=Anonymous]I had 2 under 2 and had to put both in daycare after I went back to work. Out of the two years, my older one had 8 ear infections and had to have her ear tubes inserted. My younger one went through 3 times of hand foot mouth and what's worse was my husband and I AND my mother got hfm from caring for her. Last but not least, we have experienced almost every child virus including RSV, eczema, diarrhea, fever, stye, pink eye etc etc

Both of them started daycare 6 months and 3 months respectively and we had two very rough winters. Our kids got sent home frequently, and they also got sick from going to daycare at the first place. It seems I'm paying for getting sick myself and inconveniencing myself for having to pick up and caring for sick kids during work days.

Guess what? This is our last week with our daycare, and sure enough, both got sent home the exact same afternoon, with the policy of 24-hour fever free, they have to miss tomorrow's school, which means I have to watch my kids and work.......

For those looking for daycare options, if possible, home daycare or nanny share is the way to go. Daycare is good for socialization, but the sicknesses never end and daycare will never be clean enough for kids to not get sick.  [/quote]
