Daycare Question Daycare Scaries

Does anyone else lurk the childcare workers sub? FTM - getting ready to send my 11 week old to daycare in 2 weeks. Having a hard time (as I’m sure everyone did) coming to terms with being away from him all day. I’ve been lurking in the Reddit for daycare workers trying to make myself feel better. 8 hours ago someone posted asking if other workers would send their children to daycare and basically every comment is a resounding NO. Trying not to let this get to me, but I’m totally freaking out.

What’s funny about that statement is that in every daycare my kids have been in, the teachers do send their kids there. The director of my son’s current daycare has a son in the same class as my son.
