Working moms / daycare moms

Does anyone put their children in daycare a full week even if you work less than the full week?

I have immense guilt over thinking this but I only work 4 days a week 7-3:30pm, and I only pay for 4 days a week at daycare, so it’s not like I’m paying for 5 days and only bringing my daughter 4 days. And this stage has been so hard, I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water and my husband suggested switching our daughter to 5 days a week at daycare and I can keep that day off during the week to myself.

It’s not about keeping the house clean, or catching up on things. My husband and I do a pretty good split on housework inside and out. I do all the dinner cooking because I’m home way earlier than him but he will clean everything after etc. I think we have a pretty good system.

But my nervous system just needs a break. I’m 100% needed at work, 100% needed at home by my child, husband and my 3 dogs. I feel like I don’t have a day or moment of quiet time until I fall asleep.

But I can’t help but feeling guilty because I also like having that 1 weekday a week off with my daughter to do activities like a zoo, parks, going to a coffee shop and getting muffins, getting breakfast etc.

This sounds silly but I haven’t leisurely browsed a store in over a year because she hates going into any store for more than 3 minutes (I don’t blame her, the lighting sucks in these stores) but I miss just going into a home goods and smelling candles without waiting for a tantrum to happen 😅

I am even thinking I just do it every other week.

Any moms work less days than they have their kids in daycare?
