Feel terrible saying..
.. but my baby is driving me insane. It’s as though the past couple of days she’s decided she hates me but wants me at the same time. Constantly crying or moaning at me, but in comes daddy or anyone else and she’s smiles and happy, which is her usual self.
She’s not unwell or teething as far as I can tell.. I just don’t know what she wants or how to make her happy. It’s our last few weeks together before nursery and it’s breaking my heart that she’s frustrating me so much to the point of tears.

Might be reassuring but she’s probably only that way with you because she feels safe and secure enough to get upset. It also sounds like you’re feeling it more because you’re anticipating her going off to nursery and wanting this time to be special - which is totally fair!
As said above, when they are comfortable to cry and be miserable with you it shows they feel safe and loved enough to be the real them. It’s hard I know but grumpy phases happen and will pass!

I feel you, going through similar and I'm already back at work. Broke down this morning 😭 at work. Although seeing him smile when picking him tonight brightened my day slightly (first time he's smiled when I've collected him)
