Shared on Wed, 06/10/2009 - 08:43Its been a few sessions now since my son has been in day care. We didn't want to put him there, but my idiot nanny sealed the deal when she decided to text us at the last minute for several days that she was not going to come to look after him (her reason was that her phone was broken and could not make outgoing calls... apparently hers was the only available phone though in her personal circle, her town, and county).
His first few days have been rough. I know this because I have access to their web cam. This is both a blessing and a curse - I love seeing him and knowing he's safe, but at the same time it drives my productivity down pretty badly and I hate seeing him there and not be able to touch him. Each time I drop him off he cries like crazy. The first day he was inconsolable... today it was better. Felt better too to see some other boys crying (older ones too) when their daddies were heading to work.
Anyway, he's had some pretty rough separation issues, which I guess is normal but some other parental feedback would be appreciated. It's his third session now, and before he went, he had a blanket that he used to only sleep with... and now he can't be separated from it. But the thing that I wonder about is how long it will take him to be social. Yeah, I know every kid is different, but as I look on the camera I see 6 kids all playing together with the 2 teachers, and he just wanders the room, alone. Seeing him alone tears me up inside BAD. Right now they're doing hand clapping stuff, and he claps from far away. I wish he would go sit with the other kids. Maybe that comes with comfort. I don't know.
All I know is I wish I could quit my job and stay with him. Funny what kids do to the hardest bonafide workaholics.
Oh yeah, I got 1 ad reply, from a 22 year old guy who just got his Xbox. Maybe I didn't mean it when I said age wasn't a requirement... I just cant think of anything a 22 year old guy and I can identify with together beyond gaming... I'd say women, but he's gay, so that won't help much... I think I'm going to delete the ad, though. All this Craigslist notoriety in the news lately makes me wonder what kind of freak is going to swing by my place for a LAN.
I'd prefer 2o2p freaks :P
