Hello all,
I’m having a hard time making a decision on this: my parents , who are 65 and 76 , offered to move in with me and my daughter for the time being. This would mean I wouldn’t be able to send my daughter to creche anymore for a while. But that we wouldn’t be so alone and without a support network around us. My support network at the moment is very small , just one friend who lives nearby and is also a single mum. The lockdown caught me without having had really developed a bigger or more diverse network, and I feel very scared and anxious about something happening to me, coping with work and my daughter and just in general being on our complete own, on my complete own with a 3 year old.
she recently started school and is loving it, I can see how much she needs and wants to be with other children, having said that I’m not sure how long crèches will even stay open. If my parents come, I will feel a bit more supported and not alone, but my daughter won’t be able to go to creche and we will all need to be extra cautious, I don’t know how to decide on this one. I feel hopeless and like We’re going to be on our own forever.
