[quote=Anonymous]I sort of felt this way but it was because of PPA. I was scared LO would find something on the ground and choke at daycare, or a nanny would not pay attention and LO would wander off at the park . . .  I really was not well. We ended up going the daycare route because I was more comfortable with more than just one person around (not saying this is rational, again, this was all driven by anxiety).

LO is two now and she's always seemed very happy at daycare. When she started talking, she was able to verbalize how much she likes it. Like, every morning she asks if it's a school day and claps when I say yes (let's not discuss my bruised ego on the weekends). We sometimes go to playgrounds with kids from her class and they scream each others names and run to each other when one arrives. It's incredibly heartwarming to see how much she enjoys this other world of hers. I say this just to note that it can be an affirmatively good thing for kids, at least in my experience. I had this attitude that it was a necessity that I could tolerate when we started but now I actually feel guilty for pulling her out for so long during quarantine. [/quote]
