I was a die hard wasn't going to put Matilda into care until she was 3. PND and the necessity for a "happy mummy, happy baby" changed my mind, but also Matilda changed my mind as well.

If I didn't get the few hours off to myself a week, I wouldn't be able to continue to do positive parenting with Matilda and this house wouldn't be as relaxing to live in.
Christy thats what I mean by it being more a benifit to the Parent. I guess thats not the best way I could have worded it. But what I mean is that at a young age, yes they enjoy going etc but they wouldn't miss it if they never went. BUT the Happy Mum, happy Bub does weigh in as a heavy point to think about when deciding if it is going to be worth taking them along.
