[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the annoyance. It makes you think they thought you were dumb or lazy for putting your beloved child in childcare, and now they are realizing that it’s essential but instead of dealing (like many of us did during COVID!!!) they want you to fix it. Agree with everyone else though all you can do is just not help more than you want to. I would try not to think about it more than that. Being a parent is humbling in so many ways. [/quote]

This is all about how another woman's choices make you feel about your own choices. Like look at what you wrote:

"It makes you think they thought you were dumb or lazy for putting your beloved child in childcare."

I hate to break this to you, but they aren't thinking about you at all. They aren't sitting around contemplating your childcare choices, they are just figuring their own situation out. It actually has nothing to do with you. So you being "annoyed" by it because it makes you feel bad about your own decision to put your child in daycare (a totally sensible decision that most people make and that virtually no one actually judges you for) is all about you and has nothing to do with this other woman. Leave her out of it.[/quote]
