Daycare Angst: Hi Carolyn,
I have two babies - one is 6 months old and the other is 2.5 years old. I have to go back to work next month. We have looked at a gazillion daycares. There are two options for us. I either put them in one that we can't afford but that I would be totally comfortable with their level of care. Or second option, go with the cheaper one which I feel so uncomfortable about that I get panicky when i think about it. We've already cut our spending back to the bare minimum (cut out cell-phones, cable, internet, to name a few things) but i still don't see how we can afford it. I want to take out a loan on our house to pay for it but my husband feels that in these economic times, it would be foolish. he thinks I'm being a little dramatic about the cheaper daycare and thinks the kids would be fine there. I am seriously - really seriously - panicking about putting them there. We have exhausted any other options and I've run out of time. Should I just go with the cheaper of the two centers? What if it's terrible and I have to pull them out? If I give up the "spots" at the center I liked best, it would be at least another year before I could get them in there. Any advice?
