He is still going 2 days a week. The first day he went since we've been in our new house (it's a week yesterday) he didn't want to get into the car. Since we started packing he's been crying when I've left him which he hasn't done for a very long time.
Perhaps I just need to let things settle a bit. Now that we are in our new house things should hopefully develop into more of a routine.
Maybe I need to have more one on one time with him....
If you end up deciding to keep him you you will manage!
I was scared too before DD2 came along but what everyone said was true. You just work it out! You get into a rhythm and then wonder what you were worried about
My DD used to go to childcare three days a week when I was working, now is down to two as recently had DS. I decided to keep her in still 2 days a week because when I go back to work next Oct she will have to be in childcare three days a week again, and I didn't want to lose her place and have to get her used to it again. So they were my main reasons, now though I think my main reason is to give DS and I some time on our own and for if I have things to do, I do on the days she is in childcare so the other three days I can focus on having time with her, and time for the three of us together. I think I would struggle with both at home full time (no family support here to give me a break at all) and we would end up having 5 days together but they wouldn't be such good days IYKWIM. Since DS came along she has had many days where she hasn't wanted to go to childcare, and has cried which she wasn't doing previously - but she is fine after I have left her and is happy there all day apparently and likes talking about it when she gets home (she even asked to go on a Sunday) so although she appears upset when we say she is going - she obviously isn't really - is it just a going there thing with your DS1 too, is he fine after you have left him.
If I was you I would wait and let it settle a bit more - if you have only been in your new house a week is still early days IMO.
I know when I had my second son my first born started to get upset when he was left at daycare I think it was to do with the fact that he was being left and the baby was coming with me. I would probably leave him in daycare even just one day a week, it may be harder to re introduce him to it in a few months time.
