A
second week has come and gone at daycare and thus far, I’ve only been hearing
negative things from the wife. So it’s surprising to me that she’s still
willing to take Caitlyn there. But I suppose the desire to have Caitlyn
detached from her hip is greater than leaving her at a place that is not ideal
or going through the problem of finding another place.
I find it hard to believe that this place is as bad as she makes it out to be, but she claims other places are even worse. I think the wife can accept most of the school’s flaws because of one reason. She feels that if she’s able to leave the baby at the daycare by herself and doesn’t see what’s going on firsthand, she won’t think so much about it.
It’s kind of like eating at a restaurant. You know the people in the back cooking your food probably didn’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom and probably dropped your burger on the floor before putting it back on your plate, but as long as you don’t see it, you don’t think about it. Out of sight, out of mind.
But therein lies her main problem with the school – their unwillingness to let her drop Caitlyn off and leave. The daycare has been giving her the runaround whenever she asks when she can just drop Caitlyn off. They haven't given a specific date yet.
Currently, they have two other new students who they are training to separate from their mom. Like the wife, these two moms also have to accompany their child to school right now. But the teachers are slowly starting to wean the kids off their mom. They say as soon as these two are acclimated into the school, it’ll be Caitlyn’s turn to be weaned off the wife. Of course, how soon this will be is anyone’s guess. Personally, I think the school just likes having these extra bodies around to take care of the kids, so they don’t have to deal with them.
But to end on a positive note, the wife did say that Caitlyn was able to be by herself for 15 minutes while she went to hide without crying last Friday. That’s my girl! Now we just need to work up to 3 hours.
