    [SIZE=24pt]Today was our first day of daycare. . . I made my husband drop them off ;o) I thought all day that I wanted to go to the daycare, get them and never go back to work. I need some support from MOMs who work and kids go to daycare! I know there's got to be a few on here. . .[/SIZE]

    My girls have been in daycare for 2 months. Hang in there--it'll get easier. The first several days are difficult. I know in my situation it makes it easier knowing that they are happy when they go and happy when they come home. They are well taken care of there, and it makes things so much better. Don't worry! Once you get into a new routine, all will be good!

    I wrote almost the same post when my twins went to daycare! I cried & cried. Everyone said it gets easier & it really, truly does. My babies LOVE daycare & their teachers are so great with them. Plus, as a first-time mom, I wind up getting all kinds of advice from the daycare teachers which is really helpful. So hang in there & know it'll get better. Once you see how happy they are, you'll feel really good about things.

    mine started when they were 2 (I had to go back full time as opposed to PT that I worked for the first 2 years) and they cried for several months at drop off - but now they love it, wake up in the morning and ask to go!

    they learn so much more than I have the time or patience to teach them...

    My kids love daycare. Natalie started at 12 weeks and is so well cared for and loved that I can relax. It's hard at first, but you will get used to it and get into a routine.

    I haven't put my twins in yet but my first..my son went to daycare for a bit. it does get easier. And it makes you appreciate so much more the time you have with them!!! DS eventually would walk in happily and run to me at the end of the day when i came in to get him =)

    Gets easier!

    Oh, Sweetie, it's never easy! :hug: I hate to drop off my girls. Some days I handle it better than others, but I am dreading Monday already. My girls have told me several times throughout this break that they don't want to go play with boys and girls...I know they dread it as much as I do. Just give them extra hugs at night and on the weekend. You're still a great mom!!

    Mine started at 13 weeks and I wasn't crazy about taking them. But they love the lady that keeps them and they are always happy when I pick them up. And I'm always happy to see them and get my adult interaction during the day. Things will get better everyday!
