DH thinks I'm selfish not sending 2 year old to nursery

I tried for a baby for 20 years before finally getting my DS. I always said I'd leave work and keep baby at home until school.

As it happens I've actually started a business at home that I do in the evenings and I'm earning as much as when I went to work full time.

However DH thinks DS would be better off at nursery instead of at home with me.

What do others think about this?

Mornings from 3 are helpful for socialisation and giving children the opportunity to do things they don’t or can’t at home.

2 year olds aren’t getting real value from nursery. They are just too young to need group situations without parents. I don’t think it does them any harm, but I wouldn’t send them during a pandemic if I had other options.

@DudeistPriest Yes! Thank you, I totally agree! In fairness it was said in a bit of an argument and he's since apologised but it does sting a bit hearing words like that when all I'm doing is my very best.
