Do your parents or in-laws provide childcare? Tell me what you'd do in this situation...?

I'm sorry, I don't depend on family to watch my children. I am picky about them being in a daycare too, only because of one bad experience with my son. Here in my state we have a program called the downeast partnership for children. They help with a lot of things, including help paying for daycare. It's nice that your family and your in laws love you and they will love your kids, but I would rather do the daycare. I feel like I burden my mother when she watches my son, which I am not, and she doesn't watch him that often because she is busy. I just feel like I burden anyone with watching him, or I don't feel comfortable because of the other children not knowing how to share and wanting to fight. But I do know that with daycare he will be closely monitored and taught how to share and learn things, and go on little trips, and bring me home drawings. I am not trying to put down your idea of having family watch your children, but it's nice when my baby gets off the daycare van and has a picture to put on the fridge. I'm just saying, do some research when the time comes and find out if you can qualify for assistance with daycare. (I'm pretty sure you would) You have a while to think about it.
