Daycare age?

At what age did you/ will you put your child at daycare? Why? And how did/do you feel about it?

We have been already almost 2 years on my husband’s salary and it would be so nice to get another salary so we can breathe a little more. But I really don’t want to offer up time with my 1 year old for that. We have almost made up our minds about waiting until he’s about 2 yo. It’s such a sucky way for society to be like this where mothers often end up sacrificing so much in their working lives (no pension, no advancement in career) while basically doing one of the most important jobs in society. The daycares here have high standards, but they aren’t supported enough by the government and it keeps getting worse not better. 6 kids per employee, 3-4 if they are small. Can you imagine? Lowest salary possible for all of that responsibility.
