feel so guilty cause i actually WANT to put her in day care!

Beckoes it is a good idea I think, absense makes the heart grow fonder! Because you'll be entirely flexible with respect to what day/time you could accept you may be able to more quickly find a place in a really great centre that you're happy with.

i think AliB has made a great point here. you are in a great position to be fussy and pick the 'right' place/person to look after your DD. you dont have the pressure to find a place within a specific time frame etc etc.

Have you thought about family day care (FDC)? this can be a nice middle ground between home and a child care, and because you might be more flexible on days you may be in with a good chance to find a great FDC carer...just a thought!

thanks so much ladies, lots of great advice and stories, ive been thinking about it so much and i think im definatly going to do it if this place i look at is nice. Im still worried but i really think she will love it and i will deffinatly need to work a day at the restaurant we just opened. But like you said, i can pick my day and times etc. had looked at FDC but for some reason i think i prefere this other DC i found, just felt more comfortable with it.
thanks again all
