I feel like a horrible mummy
Haiden has always been so good about going to nursery, never had an issue with being dropped off (not like the other little terrors there!), then on Thursday when I dropped her she clung to me crying her eyes out. It broke my heart. I picked her up later and they said she hadn't been herself all day so maybe she is coming down with something.
The next day she was with my sister and I left her there okay but not long after apparently she was inconsolable. My sister brought her to my work to see me and as soon as she left she cried again. I had her all weekend and she was fine, hasn't come down with anything
Today I dropped her at nursery and again, she was in tears when I tried to get her to sit at the table for her breakfast. My heart is breaking as I sit at work right now
It's like a total personality change, completely out of the blue
I have to work for as long as I can before having number 2 because we struggle financially, and I don't have the option here of part time. I just don't know how I am going to cope if this keeps happening, I feel so guilty that I can't be with her, and I so want to be with her xx

I really want to try for another in a couple of months, but now OH has decided he really dislikes his job and might look for another. I know he will not agree to try again if he isn't in a stable position. I had got myself excited thinking that I might be able to finish work completely (can't afford to work with two) and spend some time with her in a littl over a year, but now it looks like it might not happen x
Being a mummy is the best job in the world, but also the toughest! Hopefully things settle down again soon!

I'm going through the EXACT same thing with H - he has never been clingy (infact I often got upset at the fact he never wants cuddles and kisses!!) however since we've got back from OZ (where he spent all day everyday for 5 weeks with me and his daddy) he is so clingy.
Fitting back in at nursery has been so hard. He screams when I pull up outside and grabs onto my legs when I try to leave - I end up driving to work in tears. BUT I know he was very happy there pre-holiday and how much he gets out of it and I know this is just a phase. Nursery tell me he settles after a short period of time and he seems to have a good time then. BUT I do question whether I'm doing the right thing!!??
Stick with it hun and remember what a fab job you are doing.
Im sure she will settle down again soon, shes just realised how much she misses you when you go but she will get used to it! your doing the right thing.
