Hello all,
I was a stay at home dad for nearly 19 months after moving from San Diego (can you spell inflation?) to Indy about 2 years ago. It wasn't that I didn't look for jobs but there just aren't many jobs in the high tech field in the Hoosier Country.
Although with just one income, we decided to put our older son, then 16 months old, in daycare 2 days out of a week so he can have some interaction with other kids. Darren didn't like it at first but a couple of weeks later he really liked going to daycare. My wife and I checked out about 5 daycare/homecare and settled on the best one. We paid visits from time to time just to see how our boy was doing and how he was treated.
Little kids need interactions, they learn more new things and learn them quicker when they interact. As long as you still spend quality time with your kids on you off days, don't feel guilty! Adults need to socialize, the same with little kids.
