You will have a harder time than she will 🩷 you know yourself best. Either take the day off from work and go get a massage or go to work to stay busy. That first day call the daycare to check in and give yourself some peace of mind.
You totally got this. All my kids were daycare babies and are thriving!!! The biggest thing is to find a preschool you feel good about. If you feel confident in the school and care then you can let go.
Tbh daycare rules

All kid dependent! I have a friend with July boys and she sent them and they are doing great.
It’s true that holding back has gotten out of control. I wish they would just implement a rule that everyone needs to be in their correct grade. It’s insane that February/March kids are now “young”

Do whatever you think bc there’s pros and cons either way.

Babysitter and do literally anything!!!!!

Have you tried the johnson and johnson lotion in the green bottle? Im not sure if that would be natural enough for you but its overall gentle for kids https://www.target.com/p/johnson-39-s-baby-creamy-body-oil-with-aloe-38-vitamin-e-for-delicate-skin-hypoallergenic-8-fl-oz/-/A-53388348

If you’re in the little kid stage maybe moms are overwhelmed? It sounds like you’re making an effort! I think we can all feel this way no matter your age or stage. Ugh hate you’re feeling this way!

Regardless of age puzzles. My kids have enjoyed puzzles from 3yrs-14yrs (and counting) and I genuinely enjoy participating.

Ticket to Ride (they have a junior version), dominoes, old maid (youngers), sorry, trouble, mancala, guess who (youngers), exploding kittens

Pikopeye, almost grown cafe, play street museum, any gymnastics gym (champions, Acrotex), dance studios typically do parties for littles

@SustainableMama I agree. Also what a weird thing to get judged on? Maybe she shouldn’t be privileged to eat at your house lol

Marshall’s and TJ Maxx have cute ones. You have to sift through the racks but they’re there!

Now that Southwest Airlines won’t be much different than the other airlines I’m looking into a new credit card. What is your favorite card?
Most our money is spent on daycare and the grocery store.
