(9,257 posts)26. I am not opposed to daycare at all
My own kids went there and my 4 year old grandson does now. Daughter and son-in-law had a patchwork of daycare, the oldest in school and me picking her up at the bus stop every day, plus for a while SIL was a SAHD. The main concern for them is $$, as daycare is truly $$$ for an infant. Baby was a borderline preemie so were all concerned about germs (daughter is an RN) although Im sure her siblings will bring home plenty. Will probably keep the 4 yo in daycare 2 days/week (he loves it) and baby will go to preschool eventually.
I am NOT cleaning and cooking for them. Ill do the laundry, a job I really dont mind.

I heard that option had changed. That's why I said to check with S.S. before trying to do it.

Thank you so much for this thread. I'm ready to retire, but not ready to retire.
