Panda, take 1 thing at a time now....I know it is not easy for u now...if I cldn't manage 1 bb, I can imagine it's even tougher for u with 3 bbies......
IFC has its own set of issues...first, do they have slots for 3 bbies? second, u must note that IFC teacher to infant ratio range from 1:3 to 1:5, meaning ur little ones will not have 1-to-1 attention, can u accept that? third, IFC can be quite exp depending on the "brand" u go for...
To share with u, I have recently left my little rascal (Alvis) in My First Skool IFC when he turned 7 mths old, coz my MIL is unable to take care of him for the next few months. I have already forked out $2k for deposit, registration fee and 1st mth fee ($600+ after govt sub for working mum). This is his 2nd wk there...he was crying quite a lot last week, but this week, I can see that he's more settled down. There are pros and cons to put him there.....however, MIL, hb and I just kept reminding ourselves of the positive stuff; he will learn to be more independent, he will learn to socialise, he will learn new things, he will learn to be more discipline, he will learn..blah blah blah....
Discuss with ur hb and consider carefully. If IFC is the way to go, perhaps you can start calling nearby IFC to ask whether they have slots. Can consider half day IFC too, so that at least u, mum and mil have a breather and ur own free time for half a day.......
Hang on there...by the time ur triplets reach 3-4 mths, they will be v cute to play with....8)
