Daycare

Ugh!!! It’s my daughter’s second day at daycare and this mama is struggling! Her daycare provider is AMAZING, but I want nothing more than to be a SAHM. I just miss her so much and I dread dropping her off. I feel like I have such little time with her and life is just unfair. :(

The first week is always the hardest. I would drive to my child's daycare and spend my lunch hour there cause I missed him so much. It gets better.

Backing onto @Nick's reply: Former daycare teacher here! Depending on how long the child's been at daycare and the age of the child I wouldn't recommend this at least for the first month. As once you leave the child will be very upset and be nearly inconsolable. I know you miss your baby, mama. It'll get easier! Try and find peace of mind knowing that your little one will have fun and be ecstatic to see you once you pick her up! That pick up will be the most heart warming thing you will see! Your child will make their way to you as fast as they can (or at least show extreme excitement!) Hang in there mama, you got this!

I work at my kids daycare. I’m lucky I’m across the hall there are days we are busy that I can’t pop in. He’s asleep when I check him in and sometimes at pick up so I feel I get about 2 hrs with him when we are home. He also loves his teachers. Doesn’t show me as much interest it seems.

Yes life if unfair. I wish I could stay home too. I use to when I was married but haven't been able to in years. My youngest is longing for more time with me and I'm just stressed out cuz I hate leaving him.
