OP here and I have a master's degree in Early Childhood Development.  According to my employers, no one advised that their child be put in daycare.  They are doing it to [b]save for a house[/b] and go on vacation (MB's words were that she hasn't been on a vacation this year or bought new clothes as reasons to put her son in daycare).   [/quote]
It's funny how everyone just latched onto the "vacation" part of it and forgot about saving for a house.[/quote]

You can save for a house next year.  So you buy your first home in 2020 instead of 2019 - what difference does it make?  Her child's happiness and security is right now.

BTW OP - I am sorry for what you are going through.  I dread the day (and there will be the day) when I have to leave my charges.  Luckily I have a better MB/DB than you do.  I have been with them for six years and no one went to daycare!  Preschool for three hours a day, preK, K and elementary school for all day but not some toddler warehouse at two-years-old.

You are honestly not equipped to make that decision for anyone other than yourself. For all you know, it makes a tremendous difference to the family for the reasons entirely beyond your ideas.

You also have no reason to believe that her child's happiness and security come solely from the nanny and will disappear with her departure.  The child will be just as happy and secure six months from now.  There's no need to engineer this great drama over nothing. [/quote]
