Morgan started kindy yesterday and loved it. I can see we are not going to have any problems with getting her settled.
I on the other hand do have a problem... I really feel like i'm dumping her on someone else, I know this sounds stupid but I sorta feel bad knowing that I'm at home and someone else is looking after her. 
Ok whinge over now lol ------------- Morgan, Libby http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

| I felt the same, but it's good for them to get that social interaction and learn to be a bit independent. And you need time out too. But yeh a parent helper for a few hours is a good idea. |

How long is she in there for (as in days/hours per week) and can you reduce it to a level that you feel comfortable with?
Think of it like this, though: if she is at kindy for say a day each week [and happy and settled there], then that will be all the more time for you to have a breather and recharge your batteries so you can handle her for the remaining 6 days of the week. -------------  |
