Daycare
Hi mamas! I’m a SAHM and finding I need some time to be myself again and I’m considering putting my daughter into a small daycare 3 days a week (it’s only 4 kids) if you have sent your kiddos to daycare let me know if you have any regrets. I am not doubting my decision I feel guilty because I know she will be sick

Just here to say the same thing, sicknesses are brutal! We’ve spent so many days/weeks with our son home due to him being sick or things going around, and it’s been a mental strain on my husband and I (especially because we usually get sick too). If you can wait until spring/warmer weather, I 100% suggest that as well!
We put my son in daycare for only 2 days a week and he was so sick it was awful. You will be sick too, it’s not just them. Usually not as bad but I wasn’t well enough to try to get myself going again with the time. We removed him and have a nanny that relieves me for 4 hours for 2 days. You will have less time away with a nanny due to costs but the reward of less sickness is worth it.

No regrets, but you’re definitely right about illness. I would wait until April when the winter illnesses are done. We do 3 days a week and it makes me such a more patient and attentive parent when I am around him. But, there have been full weeks when he can’t go due to various illness or holidays, etc. We had a nanny for the same price for 2 days a week when he was young and that was amazing.
