Do any you SAHPs put your toddlers in a nursery in the day just to get a break? I am a SAHM and have 1 ds who is 16 months old. I have no family nearby and my husband works a lot. I have no friends, as where I live is quite isolated and there are no mum and babies activities nearby. In the last couple of weeks my ds has turned into a fully fledge toddler and 'terrible twos' seemed to have arrived early and he's teething. He's having lots of tantrums and being quite miserable. I am starting to struggle a little keeping him entertained. His attention span is about a minute, he's not interested in toys, even new ones. He's just started to walk so still a little wobbly. All he wants to do are things that are going to cause him harm. Try to eat the buttons/batteries from the TV remote, open and close drawers/cupboard etc. He wakes up at 6am and has one nap for about an hour to an hour and a half a day. He goes to bed between 7-8pm but does sleep through the night. The only time I get to myself in the day is when he's napping. This allows me to go to the toilet/cook/do laundry/clean/have a cup of tea etc. I am just wondering does anyone send their child to nursery for a break. Is that selfish of me?
