Dear Care and Feeding,
My husband and I have two kids, a 20-month-old girl and a 4-month-old boy. We are discussing options for when I return to work in two months. We have full-time spots for both kids at a great daycare lined up, but my husband, who can work from home up to three days a week, has been suggesting that we drop the daycare down to part-time for each kid and have them stay home with him 2-3 days a week.
be like or not, stand your ground. When you go back to work, you need to know that your children are being cared for in a way that you can count on, trust, and not be anxious about. If the daycare you’ve selected meets those criteria, go for it.
Sad ….
