Sorry if this topic has already been done to death.
DD (11 months) was supposed to be starting nursery last month; that was obviously postponed. They’ve left a voicemail for me to call them today to schedule settling in sessions for when they open in June. I’m so torn about whether I want to send her in.
DH and I have both been working from home since beginning April in fairly senior roles. It’s so stressful trying to do my job with her around, most of my time is spent in virtual meetings trying to talk and play with her, feed her, etc at the same time. She’s happy enough but it can’t be massively stimulating for her. So it would be a massive relief to be able to send her to nursery, get on with our jobs and then be able to properly focus on her on my days off. And I’m hoping that it would be good for her to have a couple of days a week where she can be properly entertained.
But it just feels slightly terrifying to send my child out into the world when I’m still working from home and locked down in the house all day. I feel like I’ve lost all perspective on what the risk actually is.
It would be useful to know what other parents in similar situations are thinking.
