Oh how my two best pals are dreading this to which I'm deriving some really quite peculiar sick pleasure. Probably because I have put parenting/life first and work/success/status second (well, last) over the last few years.

I genuinely hope that they actually, despite some 'inconveniences', end up loving it.

Same with some friends of ours. Kids aren't old enough for proper school and we've done virtually no nursery/preschool so basically our situation is the same as it usually is. Apart from I'm working from home which everyone was struggling with until my 4yo got on my knee and asked to watch me edit photos. Gave her a running commentary on why I'm doing what, and suddenly all was well.

I feel this.

All our friends nursery, we choose not to.

Kiddo just wants to be involved, hence why she can 90% lace a radial Brompton wheel now..

Impressive! Kid 1 has done some nursery but just a couple of afternoons. We tried her at a preschool but it really didn't work so we pulled her out. Increasingly realising she just needs to play. Very true that kids just want to be involved in what you're doing: Baking, gardening, DIY, fixing bikes even tidying up and washing. Just have to let go of how you would do these activities on your own and let the kids do their thing.
