My daughter screaming at daycare recently reminded me of the best manager I’ve ever had, and how his lack of bullshit led to a trust-filled and enduring relationship. Honesty in Daycare I recently started sending my 2 year old to daycare. It’s only for 2 days a week, and it’s only for 4 hours a day, but it’s still hard on both of us; she naturally doesn’t want to leave a space in which she’s already comfortable (home), and I don’t want to feel like a monster for leaving my crying child with strangers.
