DH wants to change DC

Hi ladies,

DD started this DC at 3 months old and we have no major issues. I love the place as a matter of fact. But at the time I was working 8-430p which was perfect because the DC hours are 7a-6p. Recently my hours changed (completely out of my control) to 11-8pm which creates a huge conflict with the pick time at the DC.

I suggested to DH that I would ask my Parents to pick up when he could not, but he is stuck on "we can't always depend on people" which is completely true. However I cannot see us changing DC's, I can't see myself starting all over again. Selfish? Maybe.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: DH wants to change DC

  • I think it's unlikely you'll find a daycare that's open until 8pm- 6 or 6:30 seems to be the standard pick up time in my area.  It sounds like you'd either need to get a nanny, or rely on your parents/DH.  I think if your daughter is doing well

  • Are you looking to change to a DC that is open later? I don't think there are many open past 6:30pm...are there?  Or one closer to DH?  Could your hours change again in the next few months, cuz I wouldn't change to just then need to change

  • I don't even see how changing would help you because unless you have a nanny, you're going to be hard pressed to find a daycare open later than 6, I think.  Maybe do some research before getting into it with him so that you know if it's even a discus

  • In my experience, most daycares in our area were only open until 6, so I am wondering if you will have trouble finding one open much later.

  • Standard DC close time in our area is 6-630p. However there are some 24hr centers and some that stay open til 9pm **shivers** in my city those are the ones you avoid. I try and try to explain this to DH but he does not get it. Yes my schedule could cha

  • I wouldn't change. It sounds like you (and your LO) really like this place, and that is really hard to find. Maybe you could try it for a few weeks your new schedule with your DH and other family members to pick up. If it's not working, you might be ab

  • I think if you know his schedule a week before, then that gives you time to let your parents know which days you will need them.  It's not like they are getting a call at 5:30pm saying "DH can't make it to pick up DD by 6:00pm".  I'd say have

  • I would have a backup plan to grandparents in case of emergency, like a friend who would be willing every couple months when things come up to help out.  But I would not change to one of the creepy open late centers; here they are very much the same

  • I like the idea of having DH be in charge of finding a new place since it's his idea. :)  I would stay at the current daycare, use your parents and, if possible, see if there's a teacher or asst. teacher there that could take her home once in a while

  • We have 24 hour centers in our city also, but  I would not at all use a 24 hour center if there was any other option.

    There are night time nanny's you can get for just a few hours a day, and I would look into that if YH won't turn to your p

    I would suggest hiring a responsible person to pick your child up and then you or DH would pick up your child from that responsible person's house.
