So any other late day care starters? How is it going?
A only had babysitters/nannies in our home, but after J was born DH and I decided both kids would go to daycare instead while I worked for several reasons, part was cost, we've been through multiple nannies and having difficulty finding coverage when one was sick.Anyways, we just finished our 2nd week at daycare...J is young it doesn't seem to phase him. But A, poor guy, he is there longer as my H drops him off/picks him up and its about an 11 hour day. We only do 3 days a week since that is when I work. He cries every morning, he doesn't chase after H or anything, but its more of that defeated cry in the hopes that H will change his mind and keep him. When will it get easier?
Re: Daycare is rough
P just started daycare in November after Staying at home with me for almost two years. IT DOES GET BETTER!!
Week 1 was great because it was new and fun.
Week 2 SUCKED.ASS. She cried hysterically at drop off and pick up. Didn't eat and didn't want to nap.
Week 3 SUCKED.ASS.TOO!! But toward the end of the week it got better.
Now she might whine or pout at drop off but she doesn't cry often at all. She eats and naps so much better.
I think it took my DS 3-4 weeks to stop crying. He started in August. The defeated cries got me the worst during the 1st week. I would pick him up ready for a big hug and he would see me and just break down
