Nanny up to 18 months and day care after that IMO. Builds resistance (a little bit) by then and learns to socialize. A little bit easy on the wallet and more reliable as well.

Second daycare for the socializing aspect. Good to get them used to being around other kids. They will get sick a lot at first which really sucks, but it’s inevitable at some point

Our nanny is amazing, our kid socialize with friends in the neighborhood and goes to the park every day(summer) nanny also cleans and does laundry. Huge plus IMO

We did daycare. Kids got sick. A lot. Now they never get sick so maybe they were innoculated?

We did nanny for 12 months and then daycare. Kid 2, nanny for 4 months then daycare. It worked well. Always sick for first year of daycare though for both kids. That sucked, but now not sick often

Nanny. the economic s work out and is better for the kids. plus, depending on your nanny it can lay the basis for learning a second (or third) language

How much does a nanny cost? (Non resident)

$20 an hour * 45 to 50 hours a week. Why does 4K shock you so much?

Nanny if you can swing it financially.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
