[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I am really sorry. That's hard.  With that being said, I would do whatever I could possibly do to get your kid into some sort of structured daycare setting for at least a few hours a week.  There are a range of kids in my DD's classroom (2.5) and the teachers get ALL of them to regularly sit for story time.  When I go to pick up in the afternoon, they have somehow magically gotten 11 wild children to sit and listen to a book. I don't think that your child not being able to sit through a 3 minute story time is normal for that age...I would really work on boundaries and I think sometimes outside professionals are needed for this.

As for the playgroup, host something at the park or shift nap time to noon and go from 10-11:30. 3-5 playgroup sounds like a nightmare, TBH. [/quote]

We can't afford daycare or preschool at this point.  And the 3-5 playgroup was perfect for my child.  [/quote]

Please stop and try to understand.  The 3-5 playgroup was perfect for you and your child.  Your child made it far from perfect for the other parents and children.

Until you understand and process that you need to work harder on finding ways to get your child to socialize acceptably, then you and your child are a problem for everyone else.  You need to remedy this before you join another playgroup.  Your child is strong-willed and aggressive.  She is bullying other children in the playgroup.  Even though you try to intercede, your child is still a problem for the other children.  I'm sorry that you have a difficult child, but the other parents should not have to deal with your child.  I have a timid boy who would get bullied in a playgroup.  We ended up leaving the playgroup because of another boy who was like your daughter, and the mother did not adequately control her child.  I'm not going to a playgroup where my child gets bullied and the other parent is not able to control her little bully.  We went a few times, but the third time her child hit my child and took a toy, was the last time we went.  The host wanted us to come back (she liked us better than the bully) but she wasn't as good at standing up to the bully's mother as your host is and she never stopped him coming.  From what I understand, the group only met two more times before the host finally cancelled it because others like us were bailing.

Again, I'm sorry you have a difficult child, but you have to fix that problem before you inflict your child on other playgroups.  I'm sorry that I have to be so blunt, but you clearly haven't been taking the hints from the playgroup or the hostess of the playgroup, so I'm trying to help you save face.  Fix your child's issues first, then reconsider the playgroup.[/quote]
