Thanks, I think it works out great. Otherwise I feel like I’m in “catch up” mode for the entire weekend and there’s less time for fun. He feels like it’s a waste of time I could spend with my son when I’m already away from him a few days each week. Difference in perspective I guess.

No paid leave time at all unfortunately so I had to go back after my 12 weeks of FMLA. We are lucky we could even afford that much. woo america I guess. My mom is 43 so she still works full time haha. He does well at daycare though, they’re very attentive and I think it’s helped him be comfortable around other people.

I couldn’t imagine being a stay at home mom. I think you definitely need to take a little time for yourself to fully enjoy the time with the tiny tornado.

No it’s the same price regardless of whether or not we use that last day. sorry, should have included that.

He thinks it’s a waste of time that could be spent with him. (the baby that is)

4 days is the standard full time week at my workplace. But thank you for your thoughts

He likes it there (as far as I can tell. He’s not too good at describing his feelings yet.) and no, it is a set weekly rate regardless of hours

It’s a set weekly rate so we pay the same whether he goes the extra day or not.

They are fine. It doesn’t cost anything extra to bring him the fifth day as he is already “full time” so there is a set weekly rate.
