I split up with my daughter’s father a month ago, and moved to a different area (closer to my family). She’s almost 3 and overall has adapted to the changes really well. She is however extremely shy and attached to me, so settling in to a new nursery had been a challenge.
When we moved it was all a little rushed and I had to find somewhere with spaces as I work full time and had already taken time off to move. Her old place was absolutely amazing, I was heartbroken to take her away, and although the new place is okay, that’s all it is…okay. I don’t get that soft cuddly nurturing kind of vibe that the old place gave, and I feel like she won’t get that same 1 on 1 love and attention to help her thrive. It’s still early days but she cries from the moment she wakes up on nursery days, and knowing the place isn’t anything special makes it harder for me too.
Theres another place a little closer to us that is rated as outstanding and looks amazing. They have a huge outdoor area with farm animals and all sorts. They do have a bit of a waiting list but I’d really love to move her there… is it just too much to move her again? The mum guilt is already overwhelming after the whole separation/move. I feel like in the long run it would be better, but am I messing her up by all this change??? 😞
