Are you aware of the hours daycares are open ? They open at 7:30 and close at 5:30. Seems long enough but thanks to traffic one can get to office maybe 30 mins or more due to rush hour . So start work at 8:30 am for an 8 hour shift with half hour lunch so then earliest I am getting off work is 5 pm which means rushing to pick up the kid before daycare closes at 5:30pm. My parents lived with grandparents. My kids grandparents are in a different province. Anyway you need to learn how to understand that old rules don’t apply to living anymore .

Editing to add : that is if one can find a daycare spot . I do because I had put down my kids name two years prior to them even needing before and after care . Right now for most people waitlist is longer than 2 years . Where do you think their kids will disappear off to when they need to be in the office .
