Tara I totally understand. That was my thoughts when I had Matilda, I quit my job and she was not going to childcare until kindy time.

Well that lasted 9 months. She started 1 day a week for a month and then I pulled her out... She started Family Day Care at 13 months 2 days a week. Jovie started at FDC at 9 months 1 day a week until she was 18 months and then started 2 days a week.

My reasons were twofold. For Matilda, because I needed a break and she wasn't sleeping at my work anymore and too hard to handle at work. For Jovie, because she wants to be out & crawling at work rather than in the sling anymore. I took 1 week off work when I had Jovie. Sure it was only a few hours a week but I needed that.
