I didn't with my first one but since I'm in nursing school I have no other choice. I'm really sad about it because I have worked in a daycare and had to quit because of the nasty stuff that was happening.

my fiance also makes enough money to support us,, but i did have a job for a little while just to get away and i was lucky enough to have my mom watch my daughter because my mom don't work. I would NEVER put my children in daycare after what i see on the news.

I would have someone baby sit my baby when it is born and I wanted to get a job now, but husband is very protective and says that now that im pregnant that I'm not working now. I'm a little sad bc I wanted to be able to bring in money to help out. But he does make enough money, but still. And now I wanted to work three months after baby is born but again he says not until the baby is one year old. Like I said very protective.

I've done daycare for 13 years so all I have to say is go with your instinct if you meet with someone and things feel off they probably are and make sure they are state certified because then they have people always showing up on surprise visits making sure your not doing anything wrong, and they aren't supposed to let kids be there if they are sick but sometimes they don't know till its too late

Luckily I don't have to. My husband makes more than enough money, so I'll be able to stay at home with my kids. But I agree with texxasbby. :)

I don't want to only because my friend put her baby in daycare when he was 6 weeks old and he's been sick ever since he's 7 months now. He got really bad cough and congestion :( but if you have to you have to

I honestly dont want to but i work and my bf just started a new job last week and after i come from maternity leave, im pretty sure our work schedules would conflict some days out the week. I may have a few options because my half brother's mom owns a daycare and i trust her because my sister had no problem sending all 3 of her kids there before they started school.
