These are some of the funniest, most entertaining comments I've seen on Apartment Therapy. And not hateful at all. Love that.

Design opinion aside, I'm turned off by the lack of privacy. Good morning neighbors!

I was fortunate to work from home in the mornings when I first returned to work after maternity leave. Then, I would take my daughter to daycare for the afternoon and head into the office. It was a nice transition for me, but it only lasted about 3 months because I felt like I wasn't doing either job very well. My child's and my work's demands were too much to balance. I opted to take her to daycare fulltime and work from the office.

The benefit of my situation was that I didn't have to jump into fulltime daycare right away, and the transition was smoother since I could see first hand that working with the baby wasn't good for me, the baby, or my work. I was also able to get more comfortable with the daycare, so I knew them well when we went fulltime. Now, I visit my daughter on lunch breaks and see that she's happy and healthy, and that her teachers are great. Good luck!
