    thanks Jodi - i have given notice and she will stop in 2 weeks. I have paid up till this date anyhow, And i guess i keep thinking - i am not working and so this is extra money we are getting together to send her someone she doesnt want to be if that makes sense.
    I wonder if i can convince DH to spend the money on a cleaner for me instead 1 day a week? lol

    Curly - i am not sure if it is a normal thing, but DD was always so outgoing was the first to go to a group of children she doesnt know and share toys or play etc and the past 3 weeks since she started all i child has to do it be 10cm away from her and she cries. I am not sure what is going on.

    Thanks Pixie! - congrats on bub btw! i must have missed the announcement. thats the other thing.. is it just hormones! but surely not! lol. - you wil lhave to ask bear to send me a comfort recipe for some yummy cookies so cheer me up! lol

    I agree PP, I don't think she's ready and I'd be pulling her out too - I think you've done the right thing.

    She's still very young, my DD didn't start any type of care till she was 3 and she took to it like a duck to water, not a single tear from day one. I was very lucky but I think she was also very ready!

    If you are interested in her socialising with other children a bit more, I'd suggest play group. We did this for about 12 months before DD started preschool. She loved it, I was there with her so it wasn't stressful for either of us, she got to play with other kids and it got us both out of the house.
