Home Daycare when your own children are older

[Crayola kiddies]

I welcome to the forum ..... actually my 8 yr old just had this conversation with me the other day...he was asking me why I had to do daycare ....so I told him that I had to work but I didn't have to do daycare I could always work somewhere else and on pd days, snow days, xmas and march break and summer holidays they could go to daycare.......he paused for a nanosecond and declared "daycare rocks"

I also want to add I have a totally separate daycare space so the daycare kids are not touching my kids things and they only sleep in the bedrooms so the only compromise is that my kids have a pack and play in their bedrooms. when they are off school they are not required to come into the daycare and may play upstairs but if they choose to be in the daycare they must follow the daycare rules
