To let the nursery know about this

DC is 19 months and goes to nursery full time. They really enjoy it there, usually happy at drop off and always has lots of fun.

In their room there is unfortunately a child that is gojng through a stage of biting othrr children. DC has been on the receiving end of this a few times and while it's upsetting I know there's not much that can be done at this age as it's through frustration. The parents are always spoken to tho to see if anything can be done.

Last night I caught DC trying to bite me twice on separate occasions, tho it was more playful than spiteful and were obviously told of.

This morning hubby accompanies me on drop off (unusual but he's been on nights and then out tonight so wouldn't see DC) so he met us at nursery.

I thought it best to tell the nursery about the biting so they can try and watch DC, as I'd be so upset if she did it to someone else. As we were walking out hubby has a massive go at me saying I shouldn't have told them, they're now going to blame our D.C. if anyone is bitten and he doesn't agree with me telling them. When I tried to explain that I thought it best to be honest he just walked away got in his car and drove off! So now I think I've done the wrong thing when all I was trying to do was be helpful!

The child is 19 months. Nobody is going to be ‘blame’ anyone because it’s a perfectly normal stage some children go through.

You did the right thing and your husband is bonkers.

You both need to chill out, he sounds like a stroppy teenager though.

No, you are totally right. When a child is bitten at nursery they don't go round trying to appropriate blame. They try to support, and heal. Your DH is mad.
