I know this sounds obvious, because after all our routine has now changed considerably.
Any major change I would presume creates an impact to their little worlds.
He must be aware there will be a new addition but he never mentions this and it doesnt 'seem' to be bothering him yet.
Ds is 3 at the end of feb, bub is due 15th feb.
I took mat leave from xmas as I work full time and wanted to have time with ds before bub arrives.
Whilst working ds was in nursery 2 days and then with mil 2/3 days (as I worked from home most fridays).
I decided to keep him on at nursery whilst on mat leave for the obvious reasons, break for me and some continuity for ds, plus I was planning to put the baby in as well once I return to work.
TBH Ds has never taken to nursery. He didnt go at all until 18months, he has been at this nursery a while now (about a year).
He has now started sobbing prior to leaving of a morning. He clings on to me when I try and leave him and he tells me how he doesnt like nursery etc.
When I turn up to pick him up he has been tearful throughout the day.
More worryingly he seems to have started weeing himself both at nursery and then when he gets home the accidents continue. Yet he is fine the rest of the week at home.
Is he really this unhappy?
Would really like to hear if anyone has had a similar experience of this, as at the moment I am tempted to take him out. I just feel if this is what he is like 'before' baby arrives, it will only get worse??
I cant bare to think of him being so unhappy.
