i’m a mom & wondering if i did something wrong!
my daughter is 14 months today she talks a little bit but not enough to tell me if something’s wrong so i’ve been the biggest advocate for her! yesterday after i had blankly told people i do NOT feel comfortable having my child in daycare they keep pressuring me to do so. i have had multiple things happen in my life to make my trauma of NOT having her in daycare VALID but other people wanna say it’s not. but when they wanna say “f your trauma take care of that baby” am i the wrong one for walking away ? am i the wrong one when i feel the need to protect my child when she can’t talk when i’ve been r**** , sexually a******, && also lost hearing in one of my ears because on a daycare ? or am i the insane one ?
I don't think you're insane. I think people can get a bit defensive when you say you would never do something that they do/did, it can feel like an attack on their choices (especially if they didn't really have a choice) even if that's not how you intended it. And I think it's also important to remember that your experience won't be the same for the vast majority of children. I would say basically try to ignore them. Of course you absolutely don't have to do something you're not comfortable with, and it's completely understandable why you're not comfortable with it, but chances are you're not going to convince these people so it's not worth the argument
