With pumpkinpie, we bridged that 6-month gap with a shared nanny, which we may do again, but I'm also going to explore the possibility of getting one of the 16-month slots, and maybe taking enough holiday to work part-time for those four months and have a neighbour or mother-in-law see to the two days or so a week I'd be working. It will work out somehow, even if you have to go with a stopgap measure for a short time.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31817632.post-29341255714790163502008-04-09T12:20:00.000-04:002008-04-09T12:20:00.000-04:00This can't be easy.

I think the decision to have some extra time with The Boy is a good one - I've never ended up regretting time I've spent with my children.<BR/>A phonecall to the daycare to check on their sibling admission policy and whether his half-time status will jeopardize his long-term placement might not be too painful.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31817632.post-10164582470180759512008-04-09T11:25:00.000-04:002008-04-09T11:25:00.000-04:00Ack!

I don't think she meant too much by it ... except that she probably will miss him, and is hoping the other 2 days won't be filled by a screeching demon toddler.<BR/><BR/>Does your daycare have a sibling-priority policy? Ours does: siblings of current 'students' jump the queue, to keep families together and prevent the kinds of loss of sleep you're facing over worry. Worth asking.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I only put Munchkin on one wait list. I'm the queen of denial too :-)Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.com
