In the continuation of the topic about the nannies, I would like to know how do you (who are female in most cases) resolve issues concerning going back to work?
Who do you leave your children with?
What has been your experience?

As I've mentioned we have asked our grandmother to take care of our son, but as she comes to us every day I should that my wife still has comparatively little time to do something alone - 3 year old in a neighbor room is too distracting! So we are going to try kindergarten soon and hope it will be much better then Smile How is it for you?

Your actions, Victor, are definitely optimal. However, today, a woman who is going to have a child and take care for him herself, should accept that it will be out of business for at least 1.5 years.
This affects not only the financial situation of the family, as well as the professional skills are gradually lost...
Haw could you combine these issues?

I know people who it seems successfully coped with this problem. The recipe was quite simple:

1. Hire a nanny from the very beginning. It will allow woman to

2. continue working almost immediately. Of course not in the office, but at home. And just several hours per day, but it will make her to

3. support professional skills. Of course, there will be no room to grow professionally, but at least it is possible to keep what you have already.

There is only one drawback - most likely you will not earn any money because what you will earn you will pay your nanny Smile But you have your husband for that Smile

Nataly,
I raised 4 girls. Usually, I worked nights and Dad worked days, baby cared for by both. The first year (I nursed all my babies) I either took them with me, my Mom watched for a few hours or I stayed home. I was careful not to leave them (with other people) until they were 2 1/2, when they start talking. I had a bad experience leaving one of my 16 month old and really don't recommend it.

My sister had better experience. She had a lady who lived on the same block who stayed home. Erma raised both my niece and nephew for many years. It was a win/win, Erma stayed home with her kids (who loved my my niece and nephew) and my sister rose in the corporate world.

There are many solutions, be open and the answer will come!

I have 2 kids. I had often thought of what I was going to do. My husband is in the Army and I dont really trust very many people to watch my kids. I have found this great company that I can stay home with my kids.
