Daycare struggle
As a FTM I have struggled with anxiety and still do. My OB office has a counselor who I saw in the beginning but with returning to work I haven't had the time (or money tbh) to continue going.
So, my question is am I over reacting about my daycare. Here's the situation:
Our first daycare I only needed 3 days/week because I worked 12 hours. It was ran by older "grandma vibe" women who just seemed more maternal imo. They had an app to let me know how her day went and had a ratio of 4 babies to 1 caregiver.
I got a new job 5 days but only 8 hours but I had to find a new daycare which was REALLY difficult to find full time care so quickly.
This new place has the same app (but it's not always completed) and they have cameras I can watch. My daughter spends at least 75% of her day in a bouncer or swing. I watched them set her up for finger painting for less than 2 minutes to take a couple pictures (for the app) and then promptly put her back in a swing. She's fed and changed and I know they have a 6 to 1 ratio and I'm not the only person with a child there but doesn't this seem odd? That's a lot of time just left in a seat of some kind. And the afternoon caregiver that's there when I pick up is always questioning when she can expect me because she has a long drive home. The facility is open until 630 and I'm almost always there by 6 and therea always 3 ish other kids left.
Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to make sense of what I'm feeling and if it's normal or an overreaction.
