2·26 Jun 2026·on Our 8 month old is fine when I log off, and howls when my partner leaves for office

Something like it happened with us around eight or nine months, only reversed. My early calls meant I'd left before she woke, so she was clingy with me in the evenings instead. It eased after a few weeks. The thing I'd add is that the parent who stays gets the hard ten minutes, so it helps if that person has a plan for the first half hour that isn't a work call.

1·13 May 2026·on Preschool is shut till June and every summer camp starts at 4. What did you do with your 3 year old?

Our daughter's daycare stays open through the summer and does take a few older children just for May. From what I see at drop-off, the ones who come every day settle in about a week; the ones who come two or three days a week take longer. That's one daycare, though.
