I got hubby to take her on the 2nd day (as he's going to be dropping her off each morning neways) and she cried for about 2 hours but was quite settled after that... and today, she cried i think for about 15-20 minutes and seems to be doing ok now... I'll call in a bit to find out how she is..
At the end of the day, I have noticed, she's a lot happier and less chir-charri.. and she zonks out at a semi-reasonable time... she'll prob sleep a lot earlier tonight as we're both at work... Inshallah! |
Yeah pretty much the same situation. My son will turn 21 months later this month. And i agree that at the end of the day it is better for them, at least for people in our situation where both parents need to work. For the person that says its better if you do it yourself, true...but do not have that luxury.
Also when I was able to leave my son with grandparent for a bit, my dad was not able to provide the same level of care/stimulation/teaching they can at daycare, plus all the toys, ABC's/songs/dance....etc....
