- Donna,
- When my second daughter arrived, my oldest was 2.5. I kept her in daycare
- 2 days a week for half a day. I thought that she'd like to see her friends
- and be with an adult who wasn't tired from being up all night. Turns out
- that she thought I was trying to get rid of her so I could play with the
- baby :-(. It would have been better if I had just kept her at home.
