We recently moved and my son (22m) is going to a new daycare. Our last one was absolutely rockstar amazing and we were so sad to leave it. This new one isn’t giving us great vibes. It doesn’t seem all that welcome, teachers don’t seem to care about the kids.. etc. My son cries at the word “school” now.. how long would y’all wait before deciding it’s not a good fit and switch daycares? I’m trying to allow time for transition but not sure I should.

I believe children could read the room faster than adults ever could. It couldn’t be separation anxiety because your son has already been attending daycare. Follow your gut.

Switch. We knew after a week and spent the second week securing a new place. My 9 month old son who was a happy, independent, child became clingy, Sobbing and cranky baby during his 2 weeks at that place. We switched him to a new place and by the third day of the new school we had our happy baby back. So glad we didn’t ride it out and wait to see. I’d pull if you can.

I want to add I felt the same way about a daycare and ignored it, thinking it was my usual hypervigilance. One day, my daughter fell on the playground and broke her collarbone. They didn’t tell us she was hurt until pickup, and even then it was very casual. “She fell. She’s been sleeping.” We took her straight to the ER. She was walking around with a broken bone for over four hours.

Omg, I’m so sorry. I’d be furious. I hope she was ok otherwise!

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
