[quote=Anonymous]Definitely do what you think is best for your child OP. If daycare/preschool feels right then do that. There will still be tons of days out for illness, or holidays, or just the shortened school day, or whatever... If you are comfortable with using your MIL for any level of care then you can frame all of this in terms of what is best for your child - in terms of socialization, relationship with her, solid childcare plan that includes her as the core back-up element, etc... Supporting a wonderful ongoing relationship between grandparent and child can be the thing you stress with her. That is different that using a grandparent as primary childcare. No childcare solution is perfect - there are holes, emergencies, etc... for which the scramble to find coverage is extraordinarily stressful. Set the grandmother up to the be hero for those times, not the ongoing day to day.[/quote]
