okay so some of you know I own business. Well its seasonal from April through October. The rest of the year i take care of my daughter b/c my wife works full time. Its hard being Mr. mom everyday as the man of the house. It can be hard accepting that roll but its for my daughter so its gotta be done.
So I have been looking for a full time job year around also. Now I have a chance to take pretty good job but I don't have anybody to watch my daughter. she is almost 2 and I am worried about taking her to daycare. I'm worried she will freak out when I leave her all alone. I can't imigine her being a alone and crying.
What to do??????

there is so much wrong with both these paragraphs, I don't even know where to begin.
where is that therapy thread?
Take the job. Yes she'll freak out. But only for a week or so. Then again, I know nothing.
What???????????

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
I say take the job, kidnap your new boss, start up a day care at work, and all will be well! Hey, if Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda can make it work, so can you!!! Actually I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. If I had kids I'd probably feel the same way as you.

Just be prepared to deal with all the sicknesses and illnesses that come along with it. You get 15-20 kids together they pass around colds and illnesses like it's going out of style.
If it benefits your family by taking this job you should do it.
Just take your time and pick out the right daycare.

Do you have someone watching her from April to October?
Considering the source, I can't be the only one busting up laughing right about now

You could ease her into it by spending some time there together. As she gets more comfortable then when you leave her alone she should be fine.
My son started going to MyGym and had so much fun he forgot we even existed.
So true. Then when you go pick them up they get pissed because they don't want to leave the daycare.
First of all, make sure it's a good place. Accreditation with the NAEYC means they are. Go check a few, go by recommendations by other parents. "almost 2" is a good age to start day care. She will most likely cry. What you can do is to go visit the center with her for a few times and show your enthusiasm for the toys, the kids the teacher. It is IMPERATIVE that you keep a positive attitude even while she cries. Make sure you keep the goodbyes neat and brief.
If it's not now, it's going to be when she is in kindergarten and her time would be better spent learning things than crying about daddy being away.
Good luck to you.
yea I was thinking about that. I figure i could stay with her for a while and maybe wait outside to see what happens.

I find more wrong with these two lines.
Perhaps you should stay away from parenting threads, eh?
Oh, AG. Here is the NAEYC site. You can search for centers by zip code.

Hey great, thanks, i did not know about this.
Big help.
After watching that pig nanny on the news last night, I got bugged out.

Dude, I'm right there with you! There's a part of me that wants to jump back into my career and spend every day like I used to...in an office, with a bunch of other adults, and using my brain (and education) to come up with solutions to "big" problems, writing press releases, making a good salary, etc... It can be hard accepting that role for me, too...because I never imagined that I'd put my career on ice to hang out and watch SpongeBob and color.
And then there's the other part of me that would be heartbroken if I had to miss out on all of those hours every day with my daughter. I love her so much and I haven't regretted a moment that I've spent with her! I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to spend this time with her, and then I feel guilty for even considering giving it up!
So yeah...if you figure this one out...let me know how you did it.
Woohoo... the place we visiting next week is on the list

You should see my wife. Every monday morning after spending the weekend with her, she crys on her way out the door. The she calls me from work to check up on her. Roll reversal here. She and I both wish we could switch but its not a good time yet.

you can't be serious. I think you should not respond to threads dealing with children. So don't begin, obviously there are issues...
ANYWAY - on a serious matter - yes, your little one may cry for the first couple of days. ask if you can start off an hour here, a few hours there. you can stay in the building and see how she does. then once she starts interacting w/the other kids and adjusting you leave her for the day.
that's how i got my son to adapt to pre-school. i thought he'd be screaming - day 2 he was like "bye mom" couldnt care less. you'd be surprised how well they adapt. just do your homework - find a good one. just do not be surprised that she will get sick all the time. it's not easy being a FT working parent. good luck
if you dont get over your separation anxiety and help her get over hers, she's going to grow up to be socially inept and incredibly screwed up. you cant stop her ffrom crying for over. she'll get over it.
the first paragraph...is this 1895? "mr. mom"??? "man of the house"??? seriously.
the second paragraph...you can leave children with other people. they will not wither. are you saying you've never left your kid with a babysitter in the two years she's been alive? the kid is never going to grow up normally if you can't even leave her with other people to go to work. she'll probably have FUN at daycare, even if she cries a little at first.
