Plus I do kinda love my four days straight off... basically I'm greedy!<br /><br />MAM - if only they did an open door policy. They're so strict you're practically not even allowed back to pick them up. Dread to think what's going on while I'm not there... thanks tho. <br /><br />MD: "nursery mummy guilt. Yup, got it in one. (ALthough I'm cunningly using an illness of his this week - incubated at the wretched nursery last week of course - to avoid making him go back there. And all because I can't face it.)Babies who brunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544240605254105392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-56560829684174113222010-03-04T14:22:52.990+00:002010-03-04T14:22:52.990+00:00Honestly my lovely, he will be fine.

He'll cry for a little while for sure but soon realise there is lots of fun to be had. Welcome to the world of nursery mummy guilt but don't make it too hard on yourself, he really will be fine.<br /><br />MD xxMrsVikkitoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907024797797093935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-33805602155278961952010-03-04T11:29:13.344+00:002010-03-04T11:29:13.344+00:00Oh lovely it is so tough (not least because you ra...Oh lovely it is so tough (not least because you rarely get to see them enjoying being there because you're either picking them up or dropping them off) <br /><br />Does your nursery do an open door policy where you can sneak in and check up on how he's doing - I found that turning up out of the blue meant I found out that mine was happy and not the distraught little thing I was leaving in the morningsMuddling Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702217530704657676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-84386915144276067972010-02-28T21:29:34.640+00:002010-02-28T21:29:34.640+00:00You could try it for a while, and if you really do...You could try it for a while, and if you really don't feel it's right for you and Louis, then think again (though of course that's a recipe for not being committed enough to make it work, and could become a self-fulfilling prophecy). <br /><br />Just a thought - could you do two mornings or two afternoons, instead of one whole day? My younger son went to nursery one morning a week, and in retrospect (glorious retrospect), a week was long enough for him to keep forgetting that it was ok.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-69830273037970476352010-02-28T13:52:44.814+00:002010-02-28T13:52:44.814+00:00The thing is, Josie, I'm not even sure that go...The thing is, Josie, I'm not even sure that going out to work is what I DO need. Sure, some work is good, and I like writing.... but I think I'd rather just do a little bit from home than go into an office... But I know the grass is always greener. Thanks. x<br /><br />Yeah, Heather, it could have been a lot worse. But I worry that it will be next Thursday when he has to stay all day!Babies who brunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544240605254105392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-31017181142078800862010-02-28T13:45:28.087+00:002010-02-28T13:45:28.087+00:00it's a toughie isn't it?

I'm beginning to realise that there may never be perfect solutions to these things, sometimes we just have to work out the best scenario we can.<br /><br />I really hope that once Louis settles and you both get used to the new routine you can feel happier and more at peace with it all.<br /><br />Much love xxxJosiehttp://www.sleepisfortheweak.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427102726378205028.post-21098077837096611672010-02-28T10:47:15.755+00:002010-02-28T10:47:15.755+00:00Thanks Brit.

Was thinking again this morning that if only he could just do two mornings a week with me picking him up at lunchtime then I think it might be great. It's the whole day thing that bothers me. Mainly because of the dreaded sleep ..........

I hope that you and Louis find that you both like it after all. xxDorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.com
