Should I feel guilty for putting my child in daycare theyre 5 months old?

[Anonymous]

The father works but I'm used to making my own money and spending what I want and how much.

I want to be able to provide for my child and buy him nice clothes and for us to live good.

But I'm scared of daycare. I'm scared their will be an accident or something bad.

I'm also nervous about having to take him to daycare everyday to work it all sounds exhausting. Right now I stay at home but I want to work for money. Should I feel bad?

It's normal to feel a mix of emotions about placing your child in daycare. Many parents face similar concerns. Remember, providing for your child's future and well-being is a responsible choice. It's okay to pursue your career goals while ensuring your child is in a safe and nurturing environment. Take time to research and choose a reputable daycare facility. As you adapt to this change, your feelings may evolve, and you'll likely find a balance that works for both you and your child.

I think it’s only worth it if you are going to be making more money working then just staying home because day care is an arm and a leg. Sometimes it’s just more worth it to be a stay at home mother

That's true but I'm worried I won't have that spending capability and it's boring watching the baby I don't think I have the necessary tools to be a stay at home mom. Plus watching him all he wants is to be held I don't think I have what it takes to watch him 24/7

Understandable. Do you have anyone else to watch him? Look into day care and then work out the pros and cons.

Your child will appreciate time with you more than anything you could provide with money.
