I knew this before, as a fact like any other.

Now that I've recently become a parent, it's... it's shocking. The idea of handing someone that young and helpless off to strangers raises a strong "NO!" reaction, right from the gut instead of the brain.

In my neck of the woods we get 1.5 years maternity leave, and experiencing it myself I'm honestly not sure even that is enough.

Strong agree. My son is nine months old now and if we had to put him in day care tomorrow, I wouldn’t mind. It takes a village and all that. Happy to delay that a little while longer, though.

But three months is just unthinkable.
