This week’s question comes from Fran: “Do you feel bad about sending your kid to daycare?”

Short answer? Nope.

In this episode, I share the emotional rollercoaster of daycare drop-offs, how long it took my daughter to settle in and why even if I won the lottery, I still wouldn’t do seven days a week solo. We also dip into…

• The solo parent juggle
• The mental load of endless daycare dress-ups
• The chaos of events scheduled during work hours
• And why I think daycare has helped shape my daughter into the social little legend she is.

It’s part rant, part reflection and big love for the amazing humans who take care of our tiny humans while we try to keep the lights on.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
