Hi
I am probably being ultra sensitive this week as I returned to work and resent work for making me go back full time.
We have put our 1 year old girl in nursery for the five days. We worry that we are being so mean as she cries when we drop her off, and cries when we pick her up - all normal I am told. As this is the case, I feel desperate that the only times we see her at nursery is when she is crying. She is also absolutely shattered when I pick her up and getting her bathed and ready for bed can be a real battle now. Bathtime and bed time used to be fun, happy and relaxed. Our happy little girl, who never cried and was always so content before - it is so hard. Is 8:30-5:30 too long a day to be at nursery?
Help - how long is this going to last, did anyone else feel that returning to work and putting their little one into nursery was the biggest mistake? (and yes, she is our first precious little one!).
