I have a lovely DS, almost 17mo. I am back at work, have been since Easter (although i obviously had the summer holidays off as I'm a teacher.) I only work three days a week and one of those he is with grandma or daddy, the other two with a childminder. The problem is drop offs-my god he cries, it's awful and heartbreaking. But she assures me (with photos to prove it!) that he's playing with his toys within 2 minutes of me leaving and he has a lovely time. He likes her and her children and runs away from us at pick up time to carry on playing. The thing is that I always do drop offs and DH always does pick ups, so he gets happy jolly 'I'm going home DS' and I get 'YOU'RE LEAVING ME' howling and I just feel awful, and anxious that it's going to damage our relationship. Is this normal?
