That's it really. I go back to work (p/t) next Monday and DS starts with a Childminder. I don't mind going back to work but I'm just concerned that DS (11.5 mo) will settle in okay. He is normally very sociable and confident and the CM thinks he'll be fine. The first settling in session went brilliantly, no tears, didn't want to come home; but then he started teething and so the second session he got very over-tired and upset. We're supposed to have one more full day this week (the first full day) but now that doesn't sound like enough to me, so I don't know whether to talk to the CM about more sessions.
I know to expect some tears but find it so hard and am dreading the next couple of weeks (am also due PMT, which makes me irrational and over-emotional at the best of times!) Has anyone been through all this and is now out the other side? I just feel sick at the thought of it all...
