[quote=Anonymous]At age 2.5, you have a really good argument that DD should be in a more social situation.  This is a time when most kids start going to preschool at least part-time, if not a FT daycare or preschool.  I'm a SAHM and love my just-turned-3-year-old, but I'm sooooooo ready for his part-time preschool to start up again this fall!  It's so obvious that he needs social time and structure separate from what I can give him one-on-one at home now.

Simply make it clear that you feel she needs a situation with more socialization with other kids and a set structure to help her prepare for school.  There's actually research that has found that two years of preschool are usually better for kids than just one, so you could even mention that.

It's not like you're saying you don't want her to be the nanny and getting another nanny instead.  This is a really different situation.  If you want her to, you could get your kid in a part-time program and have MIL pick the kid up and spend afternoons together, but this is entirely your choice.  Either way is fine, and you have a very reasonable argument.[/quote]
