I applied to go back to teaching part time after having my daughter but my request got turned down. I now tutor at weekends and mark exam papers but pretty much I'm a SAHM. I've been quite surprised at the reaction of my friends to this, mainly at their concern for DD socially. They often make comments such as "are you not worried she won't be socialising with other children if she doesn't go to nursery?" sometimes they say "well as long as you go to all the toddler groups she'll be okay". I just wanted to know others views on this? My daughter is 15 months old - how often do you think it is important for her to socialise with other children?
Many thanks!
