DS is 15 months old. He is with my mum 2 days a week and a childminder once a week (soon to be 2 days a week with childminder). My mum always takes him to playgroups/soft plays and they both really enjoy it. He also goes to a playgroup with the childminder. I personally really don't enjoy it, I have the intention of going but when it comes to it I dread it and feel anxious about going however do force myself sometimes. I feel like I'm not making the most of my days off with him if we just spend the afternoon running errands instead and that he will prefer spending times with others. Does anyone else feel like this? Should I continue to push myself to go to these things? I'm increasing my hours in a few weeks to 4 days a week so conscious that I'm not doing enough for him on my days off.
