Our local village holiday club was full on five of the days I needed them, so in desperation I had to book DS (aged 6) into an unfamiliar club near where I work instead. It's a club attached to a school he doesn't attend, so he knows no one there.
Today was his first day. We got there and it was like walking into a youth club for the first time.
There was no one his age, no one looked up to greet us, and it was full of older boys standing around playing pool.
Now I've looked on the website and it says "this club is perfect for all ages, but is especially suited to older children". Argh! What have I done?
It broke my heart to leave him there, and left strict instructions they were to phone me if he looked like he wasn't enjoying it. The staff looked at me like I was mental. Going to phone to see if he's OK soon.
Would I be unreasonable to follow my instincts and to leave work and break him out of there?
Would someone come and tell me I'm just being silly? He's probably having a great time right now. It could be character building!
