Hi Meg,

I can see both sides. My DD is only 10months old, but DH who is a SAHD and I have discussed child care. I would love for her, when she is older, to go to day care so she can socialize with other children and learn things about the world that we can't 'teach' her IYKWIM. Although we have no actually need to put her in care, we feel that it will benefit her. We were thinking of sending her maybe 2 days a week. I think it will also give DH abit of freedom too.

I undertand the descion not to put kids in day care. Its not compulsory and its a choice and aslong as your and the kids are happy then don't worry about what others do. Your lifestyle only needs to suit you IYGWIM.
