[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idk… I don’t think my own kids would like being stuck in aftercare or in daycare all day. So we have a FT nanny and probably will continue to until they can drive. And I try to knock off early from work (and make it up at night) so I can spend those afternoon hours with one or the other[/quote]

Agree. Unpopular opinion, but I think it’s a long day for the 3 year old. [/quote]

It’s a long day. And aftercare from my memory was not fun. I had my twin with me and we were both miserable. We were not living our best lives. I guess after care has really changed in the past 30 years.

Your children will be totally fine, OP. I found aftercare boring and sometimes tough to navigate but that’s a lot of life. I would struggle with the position you are in because it sounds like your current job is soul sucking and you’ve stayed as long as possible for your kids (your eldest’s entire life). I would look for a different job and I probably wouldn’t take this one but you got an offer for a job you really like in a tough market and your youngest is 3, so not that little. If this is perfect in every other way it probably makes sense to do it. Whenever we gain something we give something else up and this is a perfect example. But your kids will be fine in aftercare and it doesn’t need to be forever. [/quote]
