[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a couple questions:

does your son have any developmental issues? What does "a handful" mean? My son had sensory issues that manifested themselves as being hugely difficult, emotional,etc. He's now 8 and we have a dx but when he was a toddler it just seemed like "a handful." I'm just bringing this up in case it is a potential issue--perhaps he is just a neurotypical and challenging child.

also, you mention that your son screams/cries when your wife tries to leave at night to get out?[/b] If there are not developmental issues, it seems to me that this is going to be the case even with a sitter. I would think a good preschool 2 or 3 mornings a week would help him adjust. They are used to kids freaking out at first but it is important that he adapt to other caretakers.

Thank you and she doesn't leave then. It isn't going to be any different with the babysitter. Mom won't leave then or the kid will scream with the babysitter the entire time ad mom  won't relax at home or will come and get the baby from the sitter.

I'm all for SAHM  having  a sitter from time to time.  But I've BTDT I too thought I wanted to SAH until my kid was 3 I was over it by  5 months but pushed it to 12 months I felt like a failure ad a "bad mom" and basically said all the things OP's wife is saying until some wise person told me it was okay to want to go back to work and do it aand that it didn't make me a bad mom.[/quote]
