Fletch, I know how you feel!! I'm so torn over this. Ideally I would love to wait until she was three and put her in pre school (in the hope I'd be prg again or at home on mat leave but realistically, that might not happen :frown. But that might be harder for her. I've had a few parents tell me that the younger they are, generally the quicker they adapt?? I don't know. She will only be in 2 days (thurs/fri) so I need to remember that.

I really didn't want to put her into care but I'm not sure how long this arrangement with my MIL can last. It was only supposed to be short term because at the time I was prg again and would have gone on mat leave again in Sept last year.

It's something I really need to look into in the next few months I guess.

Thanks for all that info Ang!
