I can understand a month or so at the beginning, but why, when you are home, keep sending the older one? It is my biggest issue with doing daycare!!

I have had this happen to me, only to have them pull the older one out just before sending the younger. I feel for you.

So are you going to keep dcb? If they think they may be leaving anyway, would you consider just giving them an end date now? Saying, sure, I'll keep him till xx day. Will you have two spots next year for them both to come back?
