Hahahaha exactly same sentiment. My first in afternoon K1 and now 5 years old. While my second will soon be in IFC, so I am pretty sure you will know the huge price fee right? My mum was saying why IFC for second. But, if i dont put second in IFC then who want to care for her? Unlike the first, she's grown up and then once she wakes up, breakfast, school, back home, dinner, sleep. My second still needs attention, so if I have two kids with her, wouldn't it be tiring?
And I have been working for years. I resign since my second pregnancy due to health problems occur. It has been 11 months of not working since I resign and give birth. Soon putting second in IFC and I am back to work.
All I can say, we make love, we give birth but end day we decide how we are gonna arrange the kids. Either baby sitter, CC/IFC or home care (if you have parents that want to care) Otherwise, you do you. Ignore all the -ve comments. It is indeed expensive, but our parents dont wish to care/cannot care/too old/tired, then we better put to CC/IFC.
Helps lighten everyone burden at home. And they can cook, do chores, rest that's all.
And being in IFC/CC, kids will build routine with napping, school, meal time, etc. So a win win situation.
