Oh no! Why did i do that to my poor little baby :(

DD was also another bad strike today though, she is doing swimming lessons every day this week and she hates it so much that she just cries through the whole thing. Today i went outside to wait at their recommendation to see if she settles down a bit, but as soon as i came back in at the end it was like the world was ending

Our swimming teacher tells parents to wait outside too, must be something they learn at swim teacher school, but I fail to see how its going to calm the child down.

Must be the day for childcare worker fail. Have you seen my FB post? I don't want to post here, because you never know who reads it, but I came home to have a cry.

if it makes you feel any better... my DS just waved goodbye to me in fits of giggles as his nan took him with her to go and get us some lunch.

Obviously he loves me a great bunch! LOL.

When I leave ds somewhere (daycare, nanna - with someone he knows) I feel terrible for leaving him, heartbroken I can't spend the time with him. He goes on his way and calls out BYE! in a happy tone with his back to me. lol least I know he's happy

Aww, you're an awesome mummy!

We had the same thing on friday night coming home after having had dinner out. DD just lost it in the car but there wasn't much we could do because we had another 20 minutes till we were home. We stopped the car twice for cuddles but it just made her worse - I think because she knew that she wasn't at home. I sat next to her in the back and sang nursery rhymes at the top of my voice but even THAT didn't calm her. I felt soooooo guilty!!!

Joys of being a mummy hey?

Thanks everyone, hopefully next time will go a bit smoother. I got really good vibes from this creche, so i definitely think he was just completely overstimulated. Being school holidays it was a bit of a madhouse too, and he has never been in that sort of environment before. Next time i am going to hand him over asleep in his capsule and time it to go back just as he wakes up, no reason to make him try and get used to it so early on. I think i can limit it to one creche visit per week for a while and just go one night, one weekend day and have mum look after him during lunchtime on one of DD's preschool days.

Snowy Love, i was pretty reluctant to leave DD at swimming as well, but i was watching her through the glass and the minute i went out of sight she was absolutely fine! I was a bit shocked, when i went back in she didn't see me for a bit and then the second she saw me the waterworks started... She then went on to play swimming lessons with her dolls all afternoon, and the dolls were all having a great time so i can't help but think that it was all a bit of a show.

Cool - the kid at our swimming lesson just kept crying so I couldn't see the point of the parent leaving.
