Am I a bad mother?

I think it’s great. So much better than dropping off a child who is upset, as this makes you feel terrible. My daughter also loves nursery (she has been going a year though) so much so that the first thing she said when she woke up on Tuesday after the Easter was ‘nursery’ with a big smile
Dropped mine off for his first settling in session last week & I cried the whole time because when I left I could see him looking for me and I was overthinking the whole time wondering if he was having fine or crying for me etc! He starts next week and I’m hoping he loves it as it’ll put my mind at ease 🤞🏼 You’re definitely not a bad mother! He probably seen all the other kids & toys and got excited 🥰
Omg absolutely so much better this way. It's taken over 6 months to get my little girl somewhat 'settled' and even now she still gets upset at some drop offs which leaves me feeling so so so bad all day and upset in the car. It spirals and then I feel guilty because I have a 5 month old and her nursery is my breather 😂
How do we get over the mum guilt?! Sat feeling anxious as bad my boy starts properly tomorrow ! Can’t cope 🤣🥲
Often it’s like that for settle in sessions and they don’t get upset until they start full time and realise this is reality now x
It’s honestly so much worse knowing they’re unsettled and upset the whole time 😭 I think they’re at a great age for exploration and wanting to be with other children. Him being confident to go off and play shows your amazing parenting 🤩
