The FMLA clock is running out for everyone from June 2014. Let's clicky poll!

My little guy is going three days a week to Jewish daycare/preschool!

Are we Jewish? Nope! We are totally agnostics.

That said, I have always felt an affinity for the Jewish people and love the focus on moral and academic development.

My mom keeps my the little guy while I work. She works weekend nights as a nurse so it's pretty awesome. I bring him to her since it's on my way to work anyway and she has way more toys already than I do.

SAHM, still seems weird to say SAHM. I luckily have my old college roommate/BFF here in Colorado now and she is a SAHM and we had an awesome day at the zoo today and I foresee many more fun adventures with our kids.

SS. DH and I work opposite shifts so we don't need childcare right now. (Or to sleep, or to see each other, apparently!)

In home daycare - Started today as I go back to work next week.

I go back to work in 1 week and DH is going to be a SAHD.

Family will watch LO, however I will also try to get Fridays off 2x a month; and DH gets some weekdays off.

In home daycare. She was a licensed daycare provider for 20+ years (recently retired) and a family friend of a coworker. She just watches C and my coworkers daughter.

MIL (ugh) will be watching him when I start working a few days a week. DH just said I can wait until November to go back, but he keeps saying that "well since you're not going to be working, I have to work 6 days a week" or some crap, so it seems like maybe I can SAH. I hope so. It sucks that he works so much, but he makes so much more money than I do. Me working would essentially pay for gas to get me there and back and some of my student loan.

Tried a center and did not like it - too big and not enough attention. We are looking at family day cares now. This is so freaking hard.

Any reccomendations on SF peninsula are appreciated.

We are doing a nanny share with close friends. The babies will alternate apartments.

Still figuring our final plan out!

We are doing a daycare center twice a week and grandparents once a week starting in October. I totally wish I could be a SAHM but we can't afford it.

Thx!

I found a wonderful woman to watch DD. She has 5 kids so she SAH. My DD is the only kiddo besides her own she watches. 4 of her kids go to school during the day so DD gets lots of attention.

SAHD but bub will go to daycare a day a week when the paid parental leave runs out. We aren't good at the budget lifestyle!

We looked at family day care (4 kids in the carers home), and I got the heeby-jeebies!

We looked at daycare centres and there was one who got grumpy-pants smiling and playing, the ladies were playing with him, he was watching other kids, I liked how they sorted a discipline issue. It felt right.

For those curious, based on a day rate of $100 (rounded, including nappies and food) our childcare funding is calculated as:

$60 'child care benefit'
$20 'child care rebate' - paid upfront but reimbursed at the end of the year
$20 out of pocket

Whoa! Crazy jealous!
