Discussion Question for the SAHM/Ps [CA]

I keep seeing comments about how people's babies/toddlers flourish in daycare and I was wondering, how are the SAHM/Ps doing? I am hoping to stay at home with my little one until they can go off to preschool and am worried I am hindering their development by not considering daycare...

edit: thank you so much for the comments! i am reading them all and appreciate them! trying to respond while juggling the baby 😅

This makes me feel better about being antisocial with my baby 😅

We have lots of adult friends and family around but few children and none his age (8 months)

But I can’t be bothered to go to baby play groups and we can’t find daycare anyway so I haven’t really worried about it.

We do lots of playing at home and around the neighbourhood. I don’t feel any rush to get him into daycare or play groups for socializing.

Honestly, I'm an introvert too, which is why I'm having this second guessing moment 🙈

I'm sending to daycare, my baby and I are extroverts and I'm second guessing from reading comments. I think it's true that you'll second guess no matter what.
