Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

ITA. Not all daycares are the same. Do your research, talk to parents and visit. For us, it went very smoothly (had nanny for 8mos before sending to daycare). DS loved the interaction with other kids and I liked having multiple caregivers and the variety of activities even at that age.
