We've had kids in daycare for 4 years now, and those people are such blessings in our kid's lives! Loving on them and helping them learn and grow? Yes, definitely. Raising them? Nope, that's us, the parents. Seriously I loved this post.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437599901446706396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96317585851268574.post-55622186453853348722012-11-01T18:34:37.634-05:002012-11-01T18:34:37.634-05:00New Follower from blog hop!

Thankfully, my husband only works 1-2 days during the work week, so daycare will only have to be part time for us, but even if that wasn't the case, I completely agree with you. & it was well said. :-)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686565812112185860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96317585851268574.post-65791786454750927992012-11-01T15:43:31.219-05:002012-11-01T15:43:31.219-05:00So true.

I was so upset at having someone else be able to spend more time with my son than I can. My sitter gets more of his awake hours than I do. I complained about her "getting to raise my son" and not me. I actually used the same words. I see it's different now but at first it was the feelings of hurt over not being the one to see all his smiles in the day, to tell him no, to comfort him when he cries, to laugh and play with him during the day. It was hurt feelings and bitterness and what *seemed* to be someone else raising him. Once everything gets settled and she likes her sitter, she'll see the difference. <br /><br />I also had a terrible first day care lady. I had to pull him from there and take him to someone we know and trust. THAT wasn't fun.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040611657800781471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96317585851268574.post-18493730246077277352012-11-01T12:01:26.294-05:002012-11-01T12:01:26.294-05:00LOVE this!LOVE this!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016101953605328450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96317585851268574.post-45608921302715943042012-11-01T10:58:39.804-05:002012-11-01T10:58:39.804-05:00True that, sister!

I am thankful it is him even though I am still jealous that he gets all this time with her during the day and I get only a couple of hours a night.
