I have an interview tomorrow/ job means daycare for LO **UPDATED**

in June 2012 Moms

Wish me luck! 

Its just a transfer to the city I live in so I wouldnt have to drive an hour in the snow with LO. 

Im nervous because it would mean daycare. My mom lives in the city I work, so she watches him now. Im absolutely terrified something bad is going to happen at day care but in all reality the chances of a serious crash on a busy, frozen freeway is way more likely. 

 So, Im just nervous. Its alot of changes at the moment.

 UPDATE

Got the job. Im excited but nervous about how much Im going to be away. Thanks for the luck! Now the search begins...

    Good luck! I completely understand anything snowrelated. I hate driving in the snow! I used to commute two hrs and ended up using my vacation days when it would snow because I was terrified of it.

    Good luck! It will all be ok, make sure you are comfortable with the daycare you choose - that helps a lot. Plus at first just call them during the day to see how your LO is doing, they should not mind. I have a drive with 2 LO's and I hate driving in the bad snowy weather - if it is really bad I just stay home.

    If you find the right place, it makes a world of difference. My boys have thrived at their school so much. They both love it and look forward to going. DS2 cries on Tues/Thurs when he doesn't get to go. The teachers even old ones have become like family to us. They still come up to the boys and give them hugs.

    I agree with the pp that finding the right daycare is key. We take our girls to an inhome provider who lives 2 blocks from our house...so driving with them in bad weather really never happens. We all adore our provider and she loves the girls like they were her own. She even took DD1 at 1 in the morning when my water broke with DD2.

    FWIW: "Bad" things can happen to your child in any setting. Just because they are in daycare doesn't "up the odds". They could hurt themselves just as easily with your mother (or you) as they would in a daycare setting. My DD1 hasn't gotten hurt once at daycare (knock on wood!) but fell down a front porch stair with while she was with my mom and one time bumped her head into the table pretty good while with me.

    "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."

    Good luck!  So much change would make anyone nervous.  I hope you find a day care arrangement that works out well for you :)

    Like others said, it depends on daycare. DS has been going for 3 weeks now and we *love* it!!! The teachers are so excited to see him every morning (one of them calls him her "little boyfriend" and tells us she tells her actual boyfriend all the stories about DS every day... she even showed me pics on her phone she took of him!). You can tell when they really care, and it's wonderful!

    Plus DS has been sleeping through the night (most nights) since we started there. They can provide much more stimulation than just myself or DH could do, and they tire him out! There's also a webcam so i can spy on him all day long from my computer :)

    I got a lot of crap from people and our pediatricians about putting him in daycare, especially since he was a preemie, but I have no regrets!
