Am I being silly worrying?

My LO had her first taster session for an hour yesterday at nursery. When I dropped her off she was nervous but went in fine. Doesn’t really cry just goes really quiet.

When I picked her up I could see through the door and the rest of the group are all sitting together with the 4 nursery nurses and she’s sitting away on her own.

She was excited when I got there but did walk to see me gave me a big hug and was just really quiet and I could tell she wanted to leave. I kept getting told by them she had so much fun and that she was joining in. I tried asking her if she had fun and just kept ignoring me. As soon as she was home she was running around screaming happy again.

She starts properly today and is going for 3 hours I said she’s going to play again and make some friends she just said no, no, no and started making a sobbing noise with her hands over her face.

I’m sure this is normal but she’s always had fun at playgroups so I thought she would like this to socialise now I’m worried I should have listened to my gut instinct and waited till she was 3 😩

Mum guilt… Nurseries

Hey mammas!
So I’ll try keep this short so I’m going back to work in a few months my daughter will be 15 months old. I’m only going back part time and I’ll be sending my daughter to nursery 3 days per week. But I see a lot of mums and videos on tik tok saying “id never send my child to nursery, I worked in a nursery they are horrible I’d never do it” I didn’t want to send my daughter to nursery anyway when she’s still so young because I’m scared that she’ll feel sad and look for me and I’m not there😞.
I wish I didn’t have to send her but I genuinely can’t afford to live unless I’m working at least part time. Im a solo mum so dad/partner is not in the picture so it’s all on me.
I know there’s been some stories in the media about nursery workers and abuse but I thought they are rare cases.
I’m almost crying writing this thinking that she won’t be okay. I’m not afraid of the worst case situation but more afraid of her missing me… I don’t know. I don’t know why everyone’s saying they’re never putting their child in nursery.
I thought nursery would be good for her to make friends, to have fun with messy activities and paint ect.
Just wondering what everyone’s else’s thoughts are on this

Am I a terrible mom?

My one year has started to scream for everything including going to sleep. I just can’t take it anymore and I’ve been letting her cry it out. Like I try everything I can to get her to go to sleep and as soon as I walk out of her room and shut the door she’s screaming again. The neighbors say they can’t hear her but idk how they can’t. I’m terrified someone’s gonna call cps on us because she screams all the time. I tell her no, screaming. I take something away that she shouldn’t be playing with, screaming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dramaa

Well my so called baby Daddy been acting weird and today he told me this morning at 9:00 something to stop being lazy in the more I usually there's no problem and today there was.. and I told him in front of his mom that since you told me to stop being lazy why don't you get a job and he tells me in front his mom you don't gotta be here witch more less kicking me out... How am I supposed to get all my stuff out here😭💔

Please tell me it’s not just me?

At 19 months I’m still getting naff all done around the house when my daughter’s around.
I’m not asking to clean the whole house from top to bottom but I’m really struggling to do even the simplest jobs.

I love my daughter’s but she kicks off the moment she doesn’t have my undivided attention. I just can’t handle the upset all the time so I end up just playing with her.

Feel like such a push over and also a little bit claustrophobic.

I’m not looking for tips or advice because trust me I’ve tried every trick in the book to help her to play independently. And I’ve even fallen for WAY more screen time than I’m happy giving 😞😞😞

Just hoping there’s others out there still living like they’re in the newborn trenches???

Wake windows

What are we doing to keep babies entertained during their wakeful time?? I feel bad because I don’t know what to do to entertain him the best I can, and he sleeps so more than a typical 1 month old I’m wondering if it’s not out of boredom- am I normal for just watching my show while I talk to him and play or should I be doing more?

Parents of multiples:why does it feel like im falling so far behind with my second..? I feel like im failing himn😭

My daughter is 3 and my son is almost 8 months. With my daughter I was on top of everything, she hit her milestones, sometimes early. But with my son I feel like im falling behind... I didn't regularly start giving him purees until 7m because It didn't click how much time had passed.. Like I blinked and I missed my que. Hes also not sitting up by himself yet and the doctor said she isn't super concerned but if he can't by his 9m check up then hell need to do physical therapy... I just feel like time is moving incredibly fast and I can't keep up, I'm falling behind..
