I thought this too, but I'm going to join next week. I found a gym where membership includes childcare, and I asked D if she'd like to have a play date once a week while Mama goes to exercise class. She thought it sounded like lots of fun. This gym also has a recreational pool, so on weekends I can take D swimming, sort of as a reward for not minding that she is essentially going to day care twice in one day.
