Nursery problems

Wondered if anyone else is having nursery problems?

My child still hasn’t settled and she’s 3 months in, they have no outdoor play and it’s the same four walls constantly and my baby just so isn’t used to this. They’re always very negative when I pick up about how her day has been as she is always upset, they often send photos of her during the day and she ALWAYS looks upset, which breaks me. She’s now had nappy rash five times and is constantly coming home with other children’s belongings. I’m definitely moving her, but struggling to find another place that has spaces. I’m so upset by it all and hate to think of my little one being upset without me by her side 😢

We are 2 months in and LO hasn’t still settled either. We are still accompanying her for settling sessions, she won’t stay calm for a minute without either of the parent. So it is tough and every child settles differently I feel. We feel so broken too seeing her super upset, we haven’t even left the room and it is so hard. Just letting you know you are not alone and finger crossed LO’s settle well, that’s all I can say.

My LO settled in on the second week. They absolutely love going in. I definitely think it’s down to the staff if they can connect with your child.

The staff just don’t seem to have a bond with her at all. She really likes one member of staff who was sweet and silly with her, but she’s now on maternity leave and she’s struggling so much

Pull her out - it’s simply not worth it ❤️
When you find the right childcare setting, you’ll know 💐

I would take her out asap. She must be very upset and it seems as though they’re not looking after her properly with nappy rashes, maybe spend a little more time with her before putting her into a new nursery if possible?

Thank you all, i had no luck with a nursery, but I have a visit with two child minders this week, I’ve pulled her out and we’re currently using family until we can get her into somewhere. But already feel so much more positive about finding somewhere new ❤️

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
