I’ve been there mama! Two things: 1.) My mentor says “All ways are good.” This applies here too! 2.) There are so many unknowns about your child, the school options and how your child will be in the school. (Like can you find a solution with the preschool for circle time, is that other school as n/d friendly as they say, is your child n/d or needing any n/d support this year, etc. Choosing an option that benefits you Is choosing your child. You won’t be burnt out, etc.
Oh wow! I’d never heard the “all ways are good” advice, but that’s really helpful to remember! I don’t know yet if my child needs n/d support at this time—so a lot of this is mostly just me worrying about him, and wanting to do better by him. But you’re right that a mama who’s not burnt out is a huge win for the kid, too. Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is so insightful! As you know, I know nothing about childcare/school so reading the nitty gritty details is truly fascinating. I like what TK says, too. Sometimes there’s just no “right” option. I get eerie sliding doors kinda feelings when I realize I have multiple viable options that would alternate my life in such different ways. I’m sure that feeling is only magnified with a niño. 🫶🏽
