My poor H

[pirate]

He called up 4 daycares today, to officially start our daycare search, and every single one of them called him "ma'am." 

And this was after he introduced himself by name, which is not a feminine or gender-neutral name.  


The good news is that daycare availability in our area doesn't seem to be too competitive, since out of the 4 he called, at least 2 have available spots and we have a tour set up with one already.  I was nervous nothing would be available but now I'm nervous that we actually have to go through with it and pick one!  I know it's normal to worry about picking the right place though.  I'm hoping at least one will give me the warm fuzzies

That's so rude. I'm sorry for your dh. But thank you for posting - I've dropped the ball on this and need to get on it ASAP.

Maybe it was more an automatic reaction for them to call him ma'am? But still annoying. That's great though that you have at least two choices. We've toured one and liked it, but we need to tour others to get a feel but we are already leaning towards the first. The others I'd like to tour are either full and have a waiting list until October 2016 (!!!) or told me to call back a month or two before I'd need to place her. That seems...risky to me.

Whichever one you pick, if you end up not liking it you can always change to another. The whole picking a daycare process was definitely stressful! But the tours were imperative to picking the right place.
