Week Three of Daycare

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
So I could be crazy or just emotional but I feel like my DD likes the daycare lady more than me.  It seems like she smiles for her more and even "talks" more to her than me lately.  I hate it. I have never been a jealous person but boy am I jealous, I spent most of the evening crying and trying to get my daughters attention.  pathetic...

    It's hard in the evening because they're tired. So even though I pick DD up at 5 - she is usually wiped by 6. DH doesn't even get to see her awake most evenings since he works long hours (I don't know how he does it).

    You are her mommy and she absolutely loves you and her dad best. Even if you see her happy with the DCP.

    This would upset me too. I am worried DD is going to love the nanny more than me. Sad Totally irrational, right? Everything I have read says it's simply not true. Your baby will always know you and love you best, even when they are showing the sunshine to somebody else.  According to Dr. Sears, they might fuss more with you to tell you how much they missed you, and how hard it was to keep up a happy face all day.  I don't know if I believe this but I sure want to...

    Maybe your daycare lady shouldn't engage your baby so much right when you are handing her off.  That kinda seems like gloating, if you ask me.

    I can some what understand where you are coming from.  I don't feel like my DD "likes" her teacher more than me, but I am green eyed jealous of this woman that gets to spend all day with my DD while I have to go to a job that I really dislike.  I love that her teacher cares about her and is great with her and I love that DD is happy at day care but I just can't stand to think about the details too much.  DH does 90% of the pick ups and he learned a couple weeks ago not to give me too much info.  When I ask how R's day was he just tells me something like, "Good.  Teacher said she was happy and took 3 naps."  One time he went into explict detail about how R smiled all day and was doing x, y, and z with her teacher and blah blah blah and I just burst into tears because she had such a great day and I wasn't there for it.  I am hoping it will get better.  Good luck to you.

    I understand where your coming from.  I had a mini meltdown the other day on the way to work.  I dropped DD off at daycare and the teacher was holding her.  She was falling back to sleep and she layed her head on the teachers shoulder.  I was so upset that it wasnt me she was doing that to.  And I had never seen her do that with anyone else except DH.  Thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes.

    we must be the same person.  as much as i want to hear that she had a good day i don't want to know that she giggled for the first time at the DCP.  DON'T TELL ME THAT!!  let me pretend that her giggles are just for me.  MEEEEEE!
