My 2yr old is struggling with separation for more than a month now since starting pre school. He’s always been home with parents/grandparents.

How do I know if the school is doing enough vs if my kid isn’t ready?

What’s your separation routine? What behavior are you seeing?

YES going through it with my 20month old right now. Previously she was watched by grandma. We enrolled her at daycare at the beginning of September and it was a miserable 3.5 weeks at the start, crying all day, not eating lunch, no naps, terrible nighttime sleep. This week she has finally come around, and only cries a little bit at dropoff but the daycare ladies are finally reporting that she's happy after I leave and that she actually eats her lunch, and is interested in the other kids. Still no naps yet, but nighttime sleep is getting better again. It was a HARD month but things are finally looking up.
My daycare ladies say the later kids start daycare the longer the transition typically takes :/

M1 thank you so much for sharing! I think the school is being impatient with my little one. And that’s been causing us anxiety.

We will try all your suggestion. They sound wonderful.

Good luck with your girl! She sounds like a rockstar!

My spouse has made it clear to me that they no longer support me working in biglaw and want me to find a job with more reasonable hours. They were supportive early in my career and when we had one child, but our second was born a couple of years ago and all the additional work they put in at home, the lack of family time and lack of couples time is becoming a big strain on our marriage. We are in a high cost of living city so will have to undergo a major lifestyle change if we forego my biglaw..

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
