Sleeping in their own bed.

I'd say sorry, I tried but it's going really well at home so there's nothing more I can do. It's their job and shaping a child to fit someone else's hand doesn't just happen, you know.

    I did try again after all. He just won't do his own crib. But the camping cot he'll last a quarter of an hour with. Every quarter hour there's another one!
    But I do have a bit of a feeling like, I don't want to do that. Because my little one needs something else in this. And besides, I feel somewhere that if your child is somewhere else, they should also learn to follow that person's rules. Just as well as when he's at grandpa's or at uncle and aunt's.
    But yeah... Maybe that's too short-sighted or something. I just don't know. I can definitely understand where you're coming from.

    Haha Hi Netty, I’d definitely tell daycare that you’ll try it and do what you think is best at home. They don’t need to know everything, and since you’re paying for daycare, you can expect them to handle it.

    There's a doll for sale Lulla, which supposedly helps babies fall asleep. Maybe it could work for your situation. Another thing that might help is leaving their blanket in your bed overnight so it picks up your scent, then using it to make their crib the next day. Try letting them sleep in their own room during the day first, then gradually extend that to nighttime.
