I resigned from my job after I've given birth to my LO. Now he is 17 months old n my mil kept asking me to send him to Childcare cos she said LO when being taken care by me learns n develops v slow .. e.g. Still can't self feed using spoon, can't speak many words yet. Etc .. I'm feeling v sad .. Did I do anything wrong by wanting to take care of my LO until 3 then send him to Childcare b4 I return back to work ? Sigh .. :(

Don't worry too much.. if you want, can meet up with other sahm with age similar LOs and organise play dates. They can learn from each other and improve on social skills. The self feeding one, you can start preloading his spoon and let him feed himself. Everyone develops diff and at their own pace so faster pace doesn't mean the kid is smarter or what.
