Are you still sending your kids to daycare if they’re not closed? Am I the only psycho considering it?

Keeping them home. Getting up early. Working in shifts. Checking each other’s schedules the night before for when we can best support each other. Lucky to have an understanding partner. My three year old was present on my IR today🤷🏻‍♀️

Really struggled with it this morning/similar small daycare situation and decided to keep him home. I walked over, gave them 2 weeks tuition and cried the whole way home (for my one year old because he loves it so much and for the staff). These women are amazing and I really hope they come out of it ok. There seemed to be about 1/3 of kids there though.😭😭

How are you working from home with kids home? We tried today and it was extremely difficult, to put it lightly. We almost all killed each other 😬 I don’t know how we will last weeks like this. This is what made me say “maybe we will send them tomorrow??” 😬😬

Do you have a partner to share duties with? I work the early shift 7:30-3:00 (nap wake time) and my husband works 12:30 (nap go down time) - 7:30. It’s hectic, but with a 18 month old it’s the only way.

I am debating as well (for only an hour or two) ... less to help me but more to get her energy out & not be stuck inside while I’m working.
I spoke to the daycare and 90% of kids are home ... almost the safest place I can take her 😊
Going to make decisions each day. Tomorrow she’ll stay home.

Keeping him home. Friday it seemed like a hard decision, but by Sunday night it did not.

Keeping my 3.5 year old and 9 month old at home. Luckily my husband is at home too so we just take turns keeping the kids occupied while the other works. And both still take long naps, which helps a ton. We felt too guilty sending them in when we were both home.

I kept mine home. She is bummed, we FaceTimed with cousins and buddies. Daycare is still open, maybe she can go next week if we feel okay about it. I’m barely getting anything done.

(It’s a small at home daycare)

Not while I’m working from home. Will do when/as we get called in.

Keep them home. At least for right now. See what the situation is in a week or two but the trend is for everyone to stay at home.

Send your child to daycare so they can infect your family. sure why not

And welcome!

Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.
