I've been settling my 1 year old into nursery this week. Just 2 hour slots. He cries, on and off, from the moment he realises I'm going to leave until I collect him again.
I'm distraught that I'm causing him this much pain but I have to go back to work to pay the mortgage. It's making me miserable because I can't stop thinking about the next session and the tears. Am I doing the right thing? When do I stop and try something different? Or do I just need to get a grip and weather the storm?
Everyone tells me "he'll settle in eventually" but right now, in the middle of it all, that's no comfort to me. All I can see is his little, red, tear-stained face .
