2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

For some reason our daycare had the offer to extend opening hours, but with different staff and you had to pay extra. We decided to book it, but then our kids did not want to go, because of the new staff. Mixed in some other random convoluted stuff, did not make any sense at all ๐
I need the details of the random convoluted stuff. What doesn't make sense to you is everything to a dream analysis. It's essential. Try your best to recall and give me what details you can.
Really hard to recall. It was mainly about the "terms" of the daycare extension ๐ . Like, it somehow started out that the new teachers were there during normal opening hours and the parents also were there in the afternoon, and nobody knew yet that those new teachers were for the extension offer. So, everyone was confused when the new schedule was introduced. Yeah, convoluten, as I said ๐ฉ
That's what I needed. Makes sense to me now. I'm feeling it.
Analysis: Subconciously you recognize that the life you and your loved ones are living is caught in a fragile system. All your daily needs and dependencies that were taken for granted as reliable without thought or effort, are now viewed as brittle, prone to fracture and even outright breakage.
No Idea what your specifics are, but you are starting to understand on some level that the things you took for granted might not always be available. Could be a bus schedule that isn't followed reliably, or a road that is closed for maintenance makes your life more difficult. Maybe the power goes out in your neighborhood more frequently. Maybe your school closes due to maintenance. Maybe some combination of all of the above.
You want to reach out to the people responsible for this, but you already know what they'll say. "Oh, we're improving the system! It will be better than ever." But you don't beleive it. You've come to terms that you need to make your own arrngements for the unreliability in your life. Reach out to others to make arrangement. If a school closes for a week, have a pool of parents who can share babysitting/homeschooling kids so the workload is shared. If transportation stops, have alternate routing or carpool with others. You can't always rely on previously reliable systems, but you can always rely on your friends.
Sounds like what an expert might say, ty ๐ ๐
