I’ve just started my 2y.o son in a nursery / pre-school thing, for half days but he’s really sad and cries as we take him in. It’s only been a week but how Long has his lasted for any of you?

So, that’s fun. Maybe not terribly upset about being on a plane this morning

I have a two-year-old and a four-year-old for sale. Will let them go for cheap and include rations for them for six months.
