we're facing putting j. in daycare in a month. 3 days per week. it makes me sad, but it doesn't make sense for me to stay out of the workforce. (a) we need my income b/c we live in crazy, expensive NYC and (b) being freelance, I will start losing me network of contacts if i stay out too long. i work from home so people are always suggesting i just keep j. home and work, but i know for a fact (since i've been working on very simple projects for the past month) that i get NO WORK DONE when i'm home with him. i mean, i get an hour or two here and there while he naps, but the work that i do doesn't usually allow me to get work done that way. and i can't pull all-nighters and still be there for him.
it's frustrating but it's not practical for us not to use daycare at least part-time. it kills me to think of someone besides me or L. being with him. they won't love him like we do. they can't possibly give him the attention we can. but he'll be okay and so will we.
