Have posted alot on here about my Ds and nursery. He cried all the way in this morning, cried when i left and took ages to stop. I can hear him from my office (i'm the manager. He has stopped now but its utterly breaking my heart Sad.

have considered a childminder but think he will be the same on drop off and won't have the luxury of being able to hear when he stops and is happy (which he generally is but just when i mention nursery he tells me he doesn't like it - but then again told me he doesn't like daddy from time to time too!)

Why is beign a mum so bloody hard!

Oh god dribbleface - you can hear him.. How distressing!

Could it be that he is picking up on your distress? Is there someone else that could rop him off for a bit so its less painful for you both?

I thing that taking him somewhere that you cant hear him crying would be best all round, although it will be a hard break for you.

There's no pint worrying about what he says he does and doesnt like, he's safe their, well looked after and clearly has a wonderful caring mummy. Dont beat yourself up.

How long has he been going there?

he has been coming since 9mths (he is 2 now). He took ages to settle but attendance was irregular as he was ill ALOT! He settle in babyroom eventually but has just moved to toddlers (3weeks ago) and hates change.

My DH took him in on wed for me, as i was on an early, but think this made today worse.

Gonna have a chat with DH tonight about moving him, and a chat with my mum too (funny how we still need our mums isn't it!)

Right need to pull myself together and get on with my work!

Thank for the quick reply.

Yes I would always ask my mum. Thats great you have that support.

I was going to say if he's only been there for a month or so then irde it out and it'll get better but That is quite a long time.

Maybe a childminder would suit him better. More of a 'home from home' some kids just suit diffeent surroundings and sadly they dont come with a label when their born (although, that would be handy. Who can we speak to about arranging that to happen?!)

I hope the rest of you day goes well and hey, at least its friday!

well......my lovely staff just brought me a book of photo's up with him having the time of his life! (they do this for other mums with little ones who won't settle too, but didn't htink to ask them to do it for me!) Think its just drop offs and today was a one off in terms of how long it took to settle him down.

Have my sensible head on now! Was a bit emotional this morning!
