Being a silly old Granny

Jane10 unfortunately that is not going to happen, we were lucky to get the one we have.
He is now snoozing on the sofa in front of the Tour de France,
He will love School and needs it really, I am just being selfish.
DS2 is estranged and have no contact at all so this wee man is ultra special.

Time for DD and SiL to produce another DGC for you?? I don't think you're being silly at all. I was so sad to see my GSs off to fulltime childcare from such an early age. I'm old fashioned but I agree with rosearered!

My DD can't wait until October, when youngest DGS turns three. He will go to nursery school five mornings per week. At last she will have some time to herself. I remember when my son started school. I went home, stood in my kitchen and said to myself "now, what shall I do first". I think I spent the day baking.

Pre school in the UK starts at 3. If it's attached to a school they have to attend 5 mornings or afternoons a week or they loose their place. It's only private nurseries where you can choose how often they attend.

You are not being silly Felice, it's natural that you will miss him, as you have helped care for him for so long.three is very young though isn't it?They go to nursery here at that age but usually only a couple of mornings a week, unless the mother has to work.I always think there is no substitute for young children being with Mum or Grandma at that age but that is my opinion.Children here used to go to school at aged 5 but now it is 4. now and then they are still in nappies! cheer up though , hopefully he will like it and make some friends.
