With lockdown easing I was looking forward to getting to a toddler group with my 2 year old . I must have had rose tinted glasses on as after attending this morning all I can think is that's 40 minutes of my life I won't get back. Reasons I found it dire :
- trying to keep a toddler fixed to their mat ( covid ) when all they want to do is roam the room.
- putting a mask on to roam the room to try being them back to their spot but then they can't hear you properly due to muffled mask sounds .
- no one really talking to anyone( even in between songs ) just singing along to the music like they were really enjoying it when I really didn't find it enjoyable .
- all the mums doing baby voices
Maybe I'm just not cut out for part time work. I have 3 days off with little one in the week and can't stand the thought of baby groups again. Back to the walks I go.
Anyone else find them hellish?
To top it off due to the timing of the class little one only had 5 minutes nap in the car
