We are not in the UK. There are no mother and baby groups here. I have no friends with children. I am a sahm.
We recently decided to put dd. In nursery. To prepare her for school which will be in the native language here not English and to help integrate with other children her age. The only place she can get a place will only take her from 8-4 every day. She has just turned 3. I am worried she might be burnt out. They are teaching her in both English and native language here but there are other children speaking other languages too.
Since she started she won't eat anything when she comes home. She has tantrums and has regressed with the potty training. She asked for the potty 5 times in 2 hours last night and I still had to change her clothes twice.
She's moody and in the mornings she tells me she doesn't want to go to school but won't tell me why.
Mil and dh are doing the drop offs and pick ups and are telling me dd loves it there but the staff don't seem to say much and she doesn't seem to have made friends. I am going this week to see for myself but how long does it take for a child to settle in?
Also feel a bit torn. Mil was very pushy over it but my dm insisted it's too early. I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it but I hate seeing dd out of sorts and worrying if she's ok.
She has an 18 month old brother who has adapted well to her not being around but he does ask where she is and it's nice to concentrate on him sometimes.
