My favorite daycare thing is where they post what they ate and how much of it they ate. Then I make what he likes for dinner and it doesn't get eaten.

Our daycare has a live cam so my wife checks in a bunch during the day... daughter gets along fine and we're glad to see her forced to relate to other kids (she's the youngest so it's more like learning how to get out of other peoples' way) and overall it seems to be positive. She picks up on language and physical stuff like dancing from other kids. It's good.Vox Nihili posted:Dropped our kid off at daycare for the first time. Little guy can't even talk yet, it feels awful. I remember at the end of my parental leave thinking, "How can anyone possibly tolerate being away from their child all day!?" Now we despair every time there is a snow day or other closure that means we have to fill her whole day.

Survived two plane flights with zero tantrums (but one poop and one puke on the plane, both of which are preferable to a tantrum)

We never did daycare but have been doing preschool since age 2 and driving away on the first day felt like I was doing something horrible that would get me thrown in prison

Daycare owns, and the socialization is great. It only took like two weeks from the kid crying when we dropped her off to crying when we picked her up because she was interested in what she was doing.

six year old daughter is old enough to have violent meltdown rage when something doesn’t go her way, not old enough to have a developed prefrontal cortex to have any kind of control over said rage she is now lecturing her stuffed wiener dog toy that he can’t be growling and biting all the time and has to learn to use his big dog brain

Vox Nihili posted:Because it's a modern operation the daycare sends us photos of the kid looking absolutely miserable every 15 minutes or so just to make sure we know In the end he seemed to recover pretty well and didn't spend the entire day crying or anything, although he was certainly overjoyed to finally see us at 5. Hopefully by the end of the week it will just seem normal to him.

my kid was never in daycare before kindergarten and was pretty much isolated from other kids her age with a few exceptions from 2020-2022 for obvious reasons and i was worried about her socialization based on all these parents freaking out about it guess what she's been in full day kindergarten for a half year and she's been completely fine and was on the same level as every other kid in about a week

I can't believe how I went from all about career/academic life to quiet quitting and doing the bare minimum at work so I can just be with family. Never envisioned that poo poo when I was younger but maybe it helps that my 5 yo is so much fun to hang out with. I've been climbing with with him since he was 3 yo and last week, he climbed a total of 1100 ft (4 days at the climbing gym) including his first v1 (no rope climb). My body cant even keep up with him any more and is so sore, but he can keeps going without need any recovery period. I cannot imagine what he will be like in a few years. Defined more in shape than his potato faced dad (his new description for me).

I had some kooky grandma tell me randomly in a coffee shop her grandson had speech problems due to the lockdown while my kids speak three languages. Whose fault is that lady? My little guy got his report card for pre-school and he’s very well socialized per the school, learning English and his 3rd language well, and doing great overall. The only comment was he prefers construction toys to coloring with crayons…duh?? He loves construction vehicles and drawing but prefer the former, he’s 3.

Speech problems could also be due to developmental issues, and might not be anyone's fault in particular

Yeah my workplace is wildly dysfunctional, leadership folks doing every wrong thing, blocking people from moving up or doing anything good. It sucks but... it's so much easier to disengage and just be a parent. Timing kind of worked out well and I'm glad for it.

If one’s kids had real disabilities it was nearly impossible to get services during the pandemic. The pandemic basically delayed getting a neurophysiological diagnosis and a good IEP for my son by several years. It’s not really over, even now. Parents of kids with actual disabilities basically got abandoned by our systems. SPS is a good example of really really hosed up on that front during the pandemic.
