feel like such a cow

I have just made an appointment to visit one of the two local nurseries to see if we like the look of it. The 'twins' would only go for two mornings a week from September but I feel really bad about it - its not like I work or anything. I know it is daft as they will (probably) love it.

just think while they r there learning how to socialise with other children, starting there education etc , u can use this oppurtunity to do the housework, so when they r with u, u have the luxury to spend qualty time with them.enjoy

Nursery is good for them.my disabled child is at nursery he is 3 now and has been there since a baby and he is doing well .i also have a mum and toddler staying with us from homeless organisation and her toddler is so bored they go to a childrens centre and then plays with my kids toys all day and i say to her mum she needs nursery like my kids go to.

It is a brilliant idea - gives you a little bit of 'Me' time and the twins can make new friends. If the nursery people are able to use sign language with your son it should help him with his communication skills. I am not sure if it is a can't or won't talk situation - but either way it will help greatly.

In the US/Canada they have doggy crèches - if my hound were still alive I would be sticking him in there on rainy days. ;-)

my ex told me for 2 years that i was a bad mother for not putting our son in nursery ( i was taking him to a surestart centre 1 afternoon a week) i never agreed with it as i always felt that there were people out there who needed that space ( as i was not working at the time). eventually when our son was 3 i put him into nursery a few afternoons a week and it was one of the few things i am grateful to my ex for!! my sons speech got much better and his social skills improved within weeks. he was always very shy but by the time he started school he adjusted well and i dread to think how he would have been if he started school and not been socialised a bit more as he was very shy. def do it- and don't feel bad, it can only make your children happier and they learn so much at nursery!! good luck!!
