Hi Elissa,

Don't feel bad about wanting some "me time" we all need it and if putting DS into day care is the way you will get some then do it.

I put Kimberley into day care when she was 15months old as i wanted me time and she loved going each week and to be honest so did i as i have no family support here in Austalia.
I've just put Alex into day care at 2½ to help with his speech and social skills. Not so much for me time this time round as i still have the other two but next year when Kimberley goes to school full time i am thinking about putting Eleanor in as well.

Try playgroups as well and see how that goes. You could always just give day care a go for a month and see how things go.
