He is now 5 months old, and we are STILL on the wait lists. We got into one daycare 1 day a week. The daycare we prefer tells me they have a 25 month waiting list for the infant room . . . which they can only be in for 7 months. Do the math on that one!! How on earth can they have a 25 month wait list when the babies only stay in the room for 7 months and pregnancy is only 9 (well, 10) months. Child care solutions are so frustrating. I work from home, but I'm getting pretty desperate! We've been trying to find a nanny, and that has been a disaster, too. We are trying a babysitter starting next week for the summer, and hoping we'll get more daycare days in the fall. <br /><br />Good luck on your journey! - Tkeys *ICLW*Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268690872654358064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243290042609052265.post-37305283692837067062009-05-23T16:37:49.540-07:002009-05-23T16:37:49.540-07:00Wow, I had no idea that there were waiting lists, ...Wow, I had no idea that there were waiting lists, maybe I live under a rock.<br /><br />I hope your baby girl gets a spot :)<br /><br />ICLWthewormshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304261293993902178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243290042609052265.post-31962623145018960422009-05-23T08:12:30.512-07:002009-05-23T08:12:30.512-07:00That is horrible but oh so necessary in a big city...That is horrible but oh so necessary in a big city.

LOL <br />As you can probably tell, I'm a New Yorker (although displaced somewhere else now) and I totally get the whole "suck up" principle. It's how you tell who serious about landing the premium spot. Good luck with those brownies.

Convenience is great, but wow! I guess it's good to live here in the Midwest - the competition is not that rough. I don't think I would deal with that very well.<br /><br />I hope that your girl will get a place. It gives you so much more peace of mind if you can get to your child quickly if she needs you.areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.com
