I will NEVER have any more children!! Okay, there are exceptions to this new rule that I am making about the future of my childbearing years. That being said, today I had one of the saddest experiences of my life. It felt like I was abandoning my heart and leaving it in the care of complete strangers. I was forced to drop my child off at DAYCARE!! Yes, my son is 3 and 1/2 years old, but this is (for all intents and purposes) his first experience being cared for by someone other than one of his parents during work hours. Sounds so strange. Those of you reading this who are parents are probably thinking..."Lucky!!! You NEVER had to rely on daycare until now!?! Wow, aren't you spoiled!" Yes, I was. But I also never had to let go of him at 6 or 8 weeks of age and acclimate myself (and him) to this type of separation. He is cognisant of what is happening. Hopefully, after we both get used to this, he will be ready for Kindergarten. I will never leave one of my children again. I just won't have any more children if I cannot afford a nanny to stay in my home and take care of my child. Sorry people I am not that strong.
Retracting my own statement. My son is actually adjusting well to the new environment and is starting to use to the potty on his own...YEY, for people who take care of your kids!
