Hi.
I have an 8 month old daughter.
she hasn’t ever really been in anyones company apart from mine and my partner. We’ve made hints etc of childcare but it hasn’t really been taken as a hint. Maybe 3 times I’ve had her watched in this time for no longer than 4 hours. My partner and I haven’t had any time alone for so long and I really had hoped we could at least have 1 meal before going back to work.
she will be starting nursery in May and I feel sick at the thought that she will be screaming because we’re not there
I’ve spoke to family to start taking her twice a week for an hour (30 mins prob to start with). Started today. My mum said that once I was away that she was fine for 10 mins then started looking for me and the screaming started and didn’t stop for 30 whole mins.
I have to go back to work. I can’t take more time off or quit my job and be a stay at home mum.
what else can we do in this situation? I’m so stressed when she starts nursery.
many advice would be appreciated.
