Find other options . Look, discreetly, for other means of taking care of your son, some of which may be seeking outside help, alternating caretaking with mother and mother-in-law...etc. There are always other ways of finding a reasonably good caretaker for your baby. For me, I have resorted to hiring a live-in babysitter who takes care of my children when I am working.
Talk to other people about your problem . There will be other people who face
same problem you're facing. Sometimes, talking about it to another person will simply make it less significant and put things back into perspective. Especially when
someone is someone you trust completely. Just remember to keep an open mind...
Consult other family members . Other people may have a tip or two up their sleeves on how they survived
ordeal.
Swallow
pill . Take it from me, it is not worth it to argue with your baby's daycaregivers. Ultimately,
welfare of your baby is in their hands. You're on
losing end if you piss them off. It is simply not worth it. Noone and I mean, NOONE will be able to UNDERSTAND or deal with
problems FOR YOU. Pick your battles wisely, smile and bear with it. Sometimes, bearing with it,
other parties (like your day caregivers) may start to see something in you and things will starting becoming better. I mean, who knows?
