Brian and I had "the talk" - about dcp

My2Beauties wrote: It didn't go over so well I think that Brian is so concerned with hurting his grandma's feelings that in turn, he is hurting mine. He basically (in a nutshell) said that the idea was stupid, Hanna doesn't need other children to play with, Hanna is taken care of just fine, Hanna doesn't need to learn how to take instructions from teachers (she'll learn that in pre-K he says), and it's stupid of me to spend a couple extra bucks a week on daycare, but then he goes "You do whatever you wanna do LeaAnn!" And I will I will be visiting the center next week and hopefully enrolling her. I really wish I had the backing of my husband on this because I already know its going to make it harder on us to tell his grandmother and everyone, he's going to blame everything on me. At this point I really don't care what anyone thinks. I am doing this. I think once it's done they will see where I am coming from. Theb ad thing is that we live right next door to his aunt and down the street from his grandma....have I mentioned I can't wait to move this summer? Well I'll keep everyone updated!

C&K*s Mommie replied: She will benefit from the interaction, and soon he will see it. Best wishes!!

ETA: Sounds like my DH, (minus the LeaAnn part )when he is defeated and he knows that I will do what I have my mind made up to do anyhow. I just want his backing, like you do with your DH.

kayla's mama replied: You are doing the right thing...Hopefully DH will come around to it

kimberley replied: i agree, you are doing the right thing.

Kaitlin'smom replied: to your DH

This will deffinalty benfit her. I have seen amazing changes in Kait in the 3 weeks she has been goign to school. Not that she was bad, she just LOVES being around kids her age, and she is learning things I dont know, spanish and sign language.

Then Grandma will have her the other days so its not like your cutting out her watching her

jcc64 replied: If for no other reason, LeaAnn, do it for Hanna's health. She's not eating properly over there, and the smoking, well, you know how I feel about that. Brian should be as concerned as you are- maybe you need to find some links about second hand smoke and it's effects on children. Ditto with all the sugar and junk food. You're doing the right thing, hon, stick to your guns. Grandma will have to get over it.

BAC'sMom replied: Stick to your guns...do what is best for your child, not grandma.

Edward's Mommy replied:
I totally agree 100%

Brias3 replied: I agree whole-heartedly. Men can be so narrow-minded. I really give you credit for sticking to your guns here. Lucky for you, summer is right around the corner too! Hope the visit to the center goes well

ITA! It really does sound like she needs to be somewhere else. You're doing the right thing.

1lilpeanut2love replied: You are definitely thinking and doing all the right things. She needs it! Stick to your guns and follow through with what you want to do! It will definitely help your little one in the long run!!
