My DH and I decided that I would stay at home and raise our son in the early years, sending him to nursery when he is a few years old. He's currently just turning one. I am very grateful for this opportunity, love being at home with him but because of this decision, financially we don't have the "luxury" of sending him to nursery part time.
Until recently I had no concerns but lately, friends with babies the same age and at them at work and baby at nursery have made a big deal about how much their babies do, and how they are thriving. Now I'm feeling really insecure DS is missing out on something. We go to baby groups, and do lots of things but I'm having a huge crisis of confidence about our decision.
I'm not looking to start a debate of WOHM v SAHM. That's been hashed over and over. I'm really just looking for reassurance that not going to nursery in the early years is OK?
