Wondering if anyone else has this problem! I’m really struggling with sending my DD (18 months) to nursery for a few mornings a week. I have some work I should be doing but I keep finding excuses to keep DD home with me (luckily I am self-employed).
I can’t bear it when she screams and cries when I drop her off her, but not taking her in seems to make her worse next time we go. Each time she gets a cold, I want to look after her myself rather than leave her to be unhappy with strangers. I can’t get my head round doing something that makes her miserable when she’d be happy with me. So she ends up missing about 1/3 of her sessions and I feel like the nursery staff think I am nuts!
Does anyone else feel like this and if so, do you have any tips for how I can make it a bit better? Part of me wants to just pull her from nursery until she’s older instead of putting myself through this! But then plenty of other mums manage without all this drama! It's getting worse and not better as we go on, as she now throws huge tantrums when I try to get her in the car and I end up feeling like the worst person in the world.
