[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really sad. Please consider a nanny or at least a share.[/quote]
OP again. What is really sad about this? I see from the responses that maybe I'm being a bit idealistic, and I'll totally accept that. But most of the moms I know did daycare got back in shape within a year of having a baby so I don't understand why I'm being crucified for asking about how to fit in a workout and saying I'm going to send my baby to daycare.[/quote]

I think that poster is saying it’s sad your kid is going to daycare instead of a nanny. Ignore. Provided your kid is well cared for and safe, she or he will be fine. Emily Oster did a good piece on this recently. Besides, it drives me nuts how many nannies I see on their phone all day! Our daycare teachers never have their phones out![/quote]

I think people are reading this as you saying you'd rather work out than take care of your kid. I understand that is not your intent. But you do seem pretty clueless about what having a new born entails. You dont get to spend your time on what YOU want and there will be a lot of curve balls. You also have to parent the kid you get, and you have no idea yet who that is. If exercise is a priority you will figure it out, but it's never going to be as easy as it is for you now. There may be entire weeks when you dont have the time. Also depending on your labor you may be physically limited in what you can do the first few months. Then you'll be going back to work once you heal and you wont have the time to workout. Some days you dont even have time to wash your hair. Babies take so much energy.[/quote]
