In a matter of hours my little loves will be smiling and running into my arms because they missed me and are ready to love on me again. That is my favorite part of leaving them for the day. Picking them up. I get the biggest loves ever! Even bigger than good morning loves.
I hate having to leave them but it's not really a choice I get. Our culture is not set up anymore for Mom to stay home and tend to the children and the home. It just doesn't work that way for everyone anymore and it just sucks! Daddy works full time, Mama goes to school full time, has homework, housework and three (yes...3!) part time jobs. It's not easy to find time to get everything done especially when making time to engage children in enriching activities and helping them to grow as individuals. This is why we "choose" to send them to daycare.
Yes, I use the term "choose" loosely. Who really chooses to leave their children alone for an average of 9 hours a day and see them for only 3 hours? I'm not sure anyone wants that but what choice do we really have? The stay at home parent is a rare find these days. Nearly as rare as a good paying job!
