* Do your kids go to daycare/kindy/occasional care? DS1 started OCC when he was 2 yrs 2 months for 5 hrs 1 day a week and loved it. He is returning this year for 1 5 hr session a week and both him and DS1 (1 yr old) are starting day care 1 day a week for me to do uni placements.

* How old were they when they started? DS1 2 yrs 2 months OCC. CC will be just over 2 and 1/2 DS2 just over 1.

* Am I being irrational/selfish? You need to do what is right for you I sent DS1 to OCC for the social side of things as he loves being with other kids. I would prefer not to be sending DS2 so young but due to uni have no choice.
