My son is 18 months old. We have help at home to look after him. I want to still send him to day care so he can do activities etc, wife thinks we can send him after he is 2. Any suggestions ?

Sent our LO to Montessori school right at 18mo. Socialization for her was the main reason and it worked out great. In addition to that it allowed us to build a bigger network of parents with kids the same age which was a nice added benefit.

18 months seems pretty young. I don’t see anything wrong with waiting until 2, or later.

I would listen to your wife in this case. Not much to gain from schooling before 3.

I disagree. We sent ours before she was 2.5 and the interaction with the kids at school and her teachers have shown up in different aspects. She’s more engaged and friendly with the girls in her dance class and comes home learning new words and phrases all the time. It could easily just be the age, but I believe her socialization at school has helped.

We were (are) in the same situation with help at home and did it just before 2 (though tried sooner but were still waitlisted). Biggest reason for us to get in was socialization (and everything that comes with it).
Happy we did it.

100% fine to wait. Zero rush.

Do a parent & me class, meet some other parents with similar ages kids, hang out at the playground, make friends. :)

Wait.. we started ours after 2..

Send after 3. After potty trained. There is no rush... Except save him from infection. :).

Thank you guys!

Depends on your son and what he needs or is ready for. Many dimensions here (e.g., a poster above mentions potty training)

18 months was the right time for our daughter to start part-time (3 days a week) - our criteria was her being able to communicate effectively and have a social experience we couldn’t replicate at home or at the park/museum

Socialization skills are important and it's not too early to get that going. Plus, if not potty trained daycares are pros at getting that done! Only drawback imo is expense, it's not cheap. My wallet was so happy when our kids graduated out of that, and yes, there was a graduation event (which is a completely different and ridiculous discussion).

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
