I tried to get DD2 into daycare one day a week when DS was 3 weeks old, just for a break, but there was no room in the under 3's room.
So as soon as she turned 3 we went over & finished her enrolment & she's been going every Thursday ever since. She loves it & I get one day a week with DS alone.
Its good for all of us.
DD2 gets to interact with other kids her age & has LOADS of fun & I get a break.
I have NO family around at all & That is the only time I get with out all the kids around fighting for my attention.
DD2 is 3, so adjusted pretty easy. DD1 started going occasionally when she was 15 months. She went for 3 months, then started again when she was 2 one day a week.
I was SAHM then & am now, but I think the kids need time with other kids.
& mums need time out to scratch their bums & shave their legs!!
