But I have a great Nursery. And DS loves me most - believe me, children do NOT forget who their mother is (even if they forget exactly whose name belongs to whom) and who loves them most. DS has had two women fighting over who gets to be his key worker! They run to be the first one for a cuddle with DS when I drop him off in the morning! And DS still loves me the most.
I still know DS best, even though I'm full-time. I'm still the one he wants. I'm still the one he runs to, the one that he belongs to, the one he kisses goodnight... we're still together, still going strong. Nursery doesn't stop that one bit. In fact, it's made our relationship a LOT better: he didn't sleep last night so is having fun with RESTED adults today while I drink coffee and calm down!
So I think of Nursery as a good thing NOW. But I didn't in the beginning.
thanks so much kate and rhf..
it's hard isnt it... i just feel so bad missing out on things that are important to him, his milestones etc. but well not really missing i guess, cos i get to see these things at home too. but you know what i mean. spending more time with him adn do things w him... i guess this is what we have to do for now. he's happy at day care and has carers who adore him.
like kate, i spend time in the morning abt 10mins when i drop him off to chat w the carers and see how he's going.
he's doing well, doing all the art work and stuff and mixing w other children etc.
