It gets easier the more they adjust. The
first few weeks are the hardest.

yeah i know he gets better day by day but
i have no choice to send him 1 month
earlier because of availability ,, you
basically snatch up whats available here
and time to adjust....I just feel terribly
guilty leaving him...

it hasn't been very long. i'd give it more
time for him to adjust and i'm sure he'll
love it soon enough.
are you looking forward to going back to
work?

My daughter is staying with a friend of
mine's mother and sister, so she's not in
an actual daycare. But today was my first
day back to work and her first day with
them. She is only 7 weeks old; I
absolutely hated leaving her there this
morning. I cried all the way to work; and
just typing this now my eyes are tearing
up again. I really wish that I could stay
at home with her, at least for the first
couple of years, but our finances don't
allow for that. I'm hoping leaving her
gets easier with time. I know she'll be
in good care, but it's just the thought of
not being with her every minute of the
day.

Sorry you're having such a hard time.
Jenny started nursery full-time in
september & she loves it. It'll
probably just take a while for him to get
used to it.. try not to feel guilty
though, he's in safe hands!

after all the horrible things that have
happened in daycares in florida, i cant
bring myself to put my kids in 1 
thankfully Rob makes super good money and
we can afford to live on 1 income.
he'll adjust, girl.. they always do..
right now its just seperation anxiety...
prime age for it.

Rowan was 8 months when she went into
daycare.
The first two weeks were horrible, and I
cried along with her.
It's still not going great, but it's
better. She wasn't eating or sleeping
there at first, but now she is doing those
things. As soon as she sees me she bursts
out in tears and starts crawling towards
me and reaching for me, and every time I
leave she still bawls. It's sad.
