Hopefully you now learn not to judge other people’s choices if you’ve never been in their shoes.

As a fellow daycare educator, once a fortnight may not work especially if he’s a Velcro baby. For sure give it a go, and if he does really well then that’s so good! But upping his days might make it more easier with the transition and settling in process! Good luck x

It rages me when people think daycare is the devil. Daycare is wonderful for so many reasons. My kids have been going to daycare since 5 months. My first due to going back to work and my second only went 2 days a week while I was studying full time. Daycare is a wonderful community if you can find the right one

I don’t mean for this comment to come across as discouraging - one day a fortnight sometimes doesn’t work for some kiddies as it’s not consistent enough for them to get used to it. I only say this as you may need to adjust going forward depending on how Luki copes. Good luck xx

You can’t fill their cup if yours is empty, sometimes daycare is good for them! You have to look after you first and foremost ❤️

I’m so surprised that a daycare is accepting a once a fortnight 😮 when I enrolled my son they were all minimum of two days a week because they said it’s too hard on the child. But all for daycare for that extra support I’m on Mat leave with my second and my son still goes 3 days a week it gives me time with my daughter and to get stuff done and he loves it

I genuinely enjoy your content and following your journey so I say this with kindness and respect: I don't think everyone who brings up your past comments about daycare is trying to troll you. Sometimes people are just looking for a little acknowledgment & understanding which I think you've done really well in this video. When my kids were little and life felt really heavy, I remember feeling an extra layer of mum guilt whenever influencers spoke strongly about never sending their children to daycare. At times I still feel bitter towards them when I see them on my FYP because they made me feel so bad when I was already drowning. As you've experienced yourself, it's so hard to truly understand someone's situation until you're in it. We never really know what another parent is carrying behind the scenes and most mums are already carrying a lot. I appreciate you being willing to reflect on your perspective. ❤️

I think an analogy that helped me was we planned for holiday to Paris, we learnt the language, studied the areas and what you want to see and do. Then you get off the plane at your destination and you’re in Switzerland. It’s still beautiful but it’s not where we thought we would be going. We start to learn and love it all the same but it’s hard when you have to navigate it all

One thing that always always keeps me going is that daycare IS a village. Lean on your village ❤️

I’m surprised daycare is allowing you to enrol him at 1 day a fortnight, most days at es in Melbourne won’t allow less than 2 days a week cause of inconsistency for the kids and hard to adjust going with anything less than 2 days a week! Good luck 😀

I haven’t even had my second yet and I’m already stressing about all of this. My first isn’t 2 yet so I’m like, when do I put him in daycare so I can balance everything ?? I don’t want him to think I’m getting rid of him?? I just wanna cry with all the thoughts going through my head, they suck

I’m am curious how you manage to make an income from social media in Australia. I’ve thought about it but heard that you don’t earn anything from Tik tok in Australia.

If you can handle it, at least 2 days a week is much more helpful for kids to settle into daycare. But you’re doing your best and that’s what matters 🥰

All the feelings and pressures you're experiencing are so much related to youth, honestly in 10 years you'll not be as fussed so it's completely normal this pressure you put on yourself at this time but one thing I can say is the way you're so self aware already, you're truly amazing in the way it would take the rest of us at least a few years to realise. You're growing as a person in leaps and bounds. I can say these things because I was a mum in my early twenties and again in my mid thirties and whoa talk about stress less but it took me hindsight to get there. Keep doing what you're doing, it will all fall into place. Especially that you're self aware already that perfection is an illusion as in it's unattainable. Strive to be good and if your intentions are good it'll be good. Take care your future is bright 💛

@98Gi1_009: Once a fortnight won’t be enough and he won’t settle. Best to have two consistent days together a week

I’d suggest doing a couple days per fortnight so he is used to it as it may be a bit of a shock to the system him going then waiting a couple weeks to go again iykyk 💖💖

Best thing I ever did was send my 11 month old (now 13 months) to daycare 2 days a week & work 2 days. I finished early today & for the first time instead of immediately picking him up I’ve gone home & am watching videos on my phone & I’ll tidy up the house before I get him. You cannot pour from an empty cup! I’m 100% a better mum for taking that time for myself

Yes this! When I did sleep school a year ago, they had a therapist there, and she said to me “why are you constantly thinking about the future instead of thinking about what’s happening right now for you and your child and doing what you can now to get through it”

As someone who also said that my kids would never go to daycare, my first started at 2.5yo & my second started at 10 months. I found it so hard to make that decision cause I felt like it wasn’t fair, but my second thrived at daycare! She was so clingy! You are doing great!

Hey lovely x I dont want this to come offf rude so I apologise if it does. I would honestly look at putting him more than 1 day a fortnight. My son is alot like Luki, very velcro. 1 day a week was so bad! The tantrums where heart breaking. We moved him up to 2 days a week and hes been thriving. He even started walking and talking.

4 kids and my 1st started daycare at 3. 2nd was 2.5, 3rd was 17 months and my 4th was 14 months! I came to terms with the fact that for everyone we needed the help. He will absolutely thrive and don’t feel guilty for anything! You’ve got this mumma 🥰
