[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Development aside, 0-2.5 works for many families as a practical and financial consideration because that is usually the age for which childcare is the most 1. scarce (there are a lot more spaces/programs for 3s and up around me than infant rooms) and 2. expensive, generally speaking.

This. For us it made the most sense bc infant care is so freaking expensive and I would’ve been working for like no money. For a lot of families, it doesn’t make sense financially speaking for both parents to work when the kids are babies. [/quote]

It's particularly true if you have Irish twins or multiples because that is finding and paying for two spots in care or a full time nanny. [/quote]
Proving that what's preferred and what's practical are not necessarily the same.  [/quote]
??? It was both extremely practical (financially, logistically) and very much preferred (also financially and logistically) to SAH when my kids were babies. They’re 22 months apart. I quit my job when DC 2 was born and went back FT when they were 3 and 15 months. Didn’t make sense to do it before then. [/quote]
Glad that worked out for you. Others' experiences are not always the same. [/quote]
