Why would you pay someone to raise your kid just so you could watch a clock all day?!?! He needs his mom at this early age! I do not understand your reasoning for this. Nursery and child care and babysitting is for moms who have to work! Do you know how many would LOVE to stay at home with their 4 year old child!?! Yah it is very unusual behavior!
Either u have money to burn or burning the government
No. What's normal is wanting to be with your child as much as possible. If you have to work it would be a different story. But not just staying home to watch the clock. My daughter resigned from teaching so she could be a full time mother.
Ok, I am not going to judge you for putting your child in nursery, while you are at home. I went half days at the age of 3-4. It taught me social skills. I had a great nursery school and have fond memories of being there.
What I do suggest if you are just sitting at home and you don't need to work you find something to volunteer at during those hours. Or take a hobby class. Is there something that interested you before having a child? Say you are interested in art. You can either take an art class or volunteer at a museum. Some hospitals look for volunteers to hold babies when the mother can't. That way you can help someone else's baby.
you have lost your mind
We actually deemed it necessary to enroll our oldest part time at that age in order to assure appropriate opportunity to learn social interaction with other children his age. (We lived in an area that had 7 houses per mile.)
There are advantages to having a full time mom, but not at the expense of the child's development.
But your question asked if your reaction was normal......
My thought is that perhaps you might look into adult day care for yourself.
You're child is growing----I'm not so sure about you.
If I was able to be HOME, my kids were home with me. Especially at 4 years old and it sounds like you have started this at age 3.
I was able to stay home with my children for the first 3 years of their lives. I worked an odd 3:00 am shift that allowed me to be home all day. It was my most prized time. It broke my heart when (After graduating from college) I was hired for a 9-5 job which required them to go to "Day Care" during the day.
I have to ask .. Why have you put your child into Nursery ... If you are home? That seems rather odd to me.
Most families put their children into Nursey or DayCare because they have to work.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for?
