PP: I trialed my DS2 in day care later last year as he starts school next year but it didn't go so well and was 4 at the time.. I was also pregnant and I stood out the fron bawling while Dh took him in. I don't cope well with separation... so don't feel bad about crying.. I also saw a mum who looked as though she was on her way to work. She came out the car sat down and bawled.. So I think we all do it.. or at least most of us

If it is just for the socail side of things I would try playgroup.. I personally don't like playgroup. I just feel like I don't belong but I know they are a great place to have fun...
