I'm a SAHM with a DD aged 15 months. I'm not much of a joiner, so we haven't done much joint socialising. We've been to Tumbletots for a term, and we occasionally see other toddlers (about once every 6 weeks). Other than that, DD sees other babies in the park once or twice a week.
For her sake I'm taking her to a mother and toddler group (oh god) next week for the first time. Not sure how I'll cope. I don't like it when other toddlers do that naturally toddlery thing of pushing, shoving, grabbing toys, trampling other babies etc.
Can other more experienced mums advise on how to behave? I don't want to alienate other mothers, traumatise my dd or get myself arrested for grasping other people's precious offspring warmly by the throat (ok, I'm joking, right, but only just) and flinging them against the nearest wall for daring to touch my darling DD..
All advice warmly welcomed. :-)
