hi,
i am having a real inner conflict and could do with some advice please!
my ds is 18mo this week. i retrained as a pilates instructor after his birth so i could avoid going back to my 9 hour days and be with him more. so far i've been able to juggle classes around the limited time my mum can look after him. but now an opportunity has come up to do a group class that would mean pne hour a week in nursery for my ds. typing this i am on the side of, 'i'm being rediculous, one hour a week is nothing compared with many children, he'll adapt and (hopefully) come to enjoy it'. but i took him for a trial in the nursery yesterday and today and came out on the side of 'i can't leave him to cry and want me'. he loves the place and enjoys playing with the other children when i'm there but every time i go (twice each day for 5-10 mins, no more)he cries is eyes out when he can't find me. the staff are lovely, qualified, kind and affectionate, but i can't deny it does hurt coming round the corner to see him crying in the arms of someone i just don't know.
sorry for the waffle, but in short, any advice anyone?
