[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a provider, I can tell there is no perfect daycare or a center, especially when "bad feeling in my gut is me going back to work and wishing things were done "my way"". When you want to complain, it's not complicated to find something. I my daycare, for example, parents complaining that we are changing babies to often, I guess, it's saying that we are working hard and always ready to do extra for babies. It's good to know what is around, simply that you can choose the best care for your child. [b]And  if you don't respect or don't appreciate your provider who spends more then 8 hours with your baby, you should be staying at home with your baby. [/b]There are good and bad centers and same for a home daycares, it's all comes to economics. When parents get a high quality care for a reasonable price, they are usually never complain about things like stains from food and ....etc. Working with children it's not a easy job, but if you don't believe that your provider doing the best for your baby, you need to look for other options, for sure.

You sound pretty defensive, PP.  Maybe if she doesn't respect or appreciate her provider it's not because she's being unfair, it's because the provider isn't working out.  And it certainly shouldn't lead to the conclusion she should be "staying at home" with her baby if that's not what she wants.

And she didn't say that the bad feeling in her gut WAS her going back to work, it was that she was questioning whether that was what caused the bad feeling.  That is very different.

OP, I have to say that until DD was 18 months, we had a childcare provider who was okay, but I wasn't ever really 100% happy for a number of little reasons, and I also questioned whether it was just my own ambivalence about going back to work.  We now have a new childcare situation and I wish I could explain how night and day it is.  Seriously, miraculous.  I kicked myself for not exploring other options sooner.
