so confused and upset about what to do...

Tbh she sounds like a 3 yr old the age of 3 for us both times has been attitude, attitude, pushing boundaries, and more attitude *long sigh*

There is no harm in pulling her out tho if that sits better with you. have a chat with the carers about how she handles herself and what/how they encourage them to deal with rough play etc. I definitely agree with the above tho that tiredness and stimulation can make them play up the next day or two. But go with what feels right.. She doesn't have to go there to be social

lilima, I was merely saying there were a couple of naughty boys there in her class. I know this because the teachers are working with one of them in particular as there have been other parents complaining of pushing from him. I wasn't using it as a term "naughty boys" so don't take that the wrong way please. I have a 1 year old boy don't forget and he's a very placid little creature. He likes to climb up on things but he is so much more placid than my DD was at this age. In no way do I think that boys are naughty and girls are nice!! Also, my DD is not naughty at CC, she's being naughty at home. I agree, she is probably tired. I spoke to her teachers this morning and the director of the centre and we're just breaking up her days so they aren't together, we'll see how that goes and monitor it. She doesn't sleep well at CC but will sleep 2.5hours from lunch time at home. Could merely be her being 3 years old I agree. With the sickness thing, I am aware they get sick for a while to build up their immune systems. But it definitely isn't nice when Mummy gets gastro, Daddy can't come home from work and I have no support from family. Having no support is hard. When I am vomiting, DS is vomiting and DD is vomiting, it just makes me want to cry my eyes out!!! But yes I know there will come a time where they pick things up. Thanks for your replies. Sorry to vent, I just wanted to know whether other Mums felt the same thing. xxx

Can you send her on days those boys are not there & see if that helps? Or maybe do half days?
I have to agree though with who said its the age. My DD who is 4 is a night mare with attitude. They all warn you about the terrible 2's but no one says anything about what happens with Girls when they approach/turn 4!

I personally don't agree with the idea that they either get sick now at day care or sick at school, get it over with early. I would look at changing centers if she is always bringing home bugs. They obviously don't have a very good system in place there about keeping sick kids away. My boys/household never got sick like that when they attended daycare 2 days a week & they never get sick like that now while at school. Sure we get the tummy bags when they do the rounds but all the family's do. But to be on a constant cycle of being sick.... Thats not normal :/
