[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I was the only one who actually felt a bit of relief when I dropped my son off at our nannyshare.  I WFH and I had to sign an agreement that I had childcare.  Work was a break from chasing after or trying to entertain a toddler.  Covid nearly killed me.  I love my son more than anyone or anything in this world but the toddler years sucked.  He is 9 now and a joy.[/quote]

Same, day my son went to daycare the first time I felt a weight off my shoulders.  My son is 7 and a truly awesome kid.  I was so lucky to have him at my work daycare so I could pump way less just dropped down to nurse instead (it ended up being faster than pumping).[/quote]

That is a really fortunate set up. I think daycare would be a lot less fraught for parents if there was better availability of centers either near their home or work, and the option to drop in for nursing for kids who are under 12 months.

The daycare in my office building had an 18 month waitlist when I applied. I got called with an available spot when my daughter was 2. At that point I no longer worked there.[/quote]
