I've tried for over two months now to settle her in, but it's just not happening. She started off fine for a couple of weeks, then got worse from session to session until she started crying before we even got there. So over the last two weeks I have stayed with her, hoping that she would get used to it and start to enjoy it and stay without me. She did have a lovely time then, so today I left for all of 30 minutes, with the result that she then spent the last 20 minutes of the session clinging to my leg and sobbing and screaming, and when I asked her what she wanted she cried "I want Mummy"
while I was right there FFS!!!
So now I have decided to take her out for the time being, but I feel so cross, because I'm so, so desperate for some time to myself, which is now totally elusive.
Any stories of hope from anybody?
Dd1 was never, ever like that.
Dd2 probably picking up on the anxiety vibes in the emkana household atm, but still I feel this is extreme.
