[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You keep saying it was perfect but obviously not since your child was not adapting to it. It may have felt perfect for you and [i]you[/i] feel left out now.[/quote]

My child LOVED it.  She still asks for the little girl (meaning the playdate).  She painted and got to run around and was very happy there.  She is just not as calm as the other kids.  [/quote]

This woman let a group of toddlers PAINT in her house? And you’re complaining?!  Let your child paint at home.

I’m sorry, she deserves a medal. [/quote]

I wouldn't have phrased it quite the same way, although I agree. Painting is something that you do with relatively calm children. Obviously the other children are quite well behaved, perhaps even more so than those on this thread were even imagining. A bunch of calm kids who can sit and paint nicely as well as run around and also play together nicely without anybody grabbing or being aggressive... your child just doesn't fit in there, OP. You may think it's "perfect" for YOU, meaning that your child is on the receiving end of a bunch of good stuff (painting, a place to run around, some friends who wouldn't choose to spend time with her otherwise, models of appropriate behavior from the other children), but it certainly wasn't perfect for everyone else.

You remind me of the mother who decided to have more kids than she could handle so she dumped her older kids at the neighbor every single morning to take to school. It's called having an entitled attitude, and life just doesn't work that way. I'm sorry that you weren't taught this growing up, but it's time that you learn it now. If you want people to want to have a relationship with you, you need to offer something in return. You can't just take.[/quote]
