A few mornings a week we send our kid to nursery. He loves it loads and indeed runs into the place once he gets to the door. No backward glances.

Sometimes though I can’t help feeling guilty that I’m dropping him off and then returning home unfettered to get on with some work. I know I shouldn’t because he loves nursery and the social interaction is really important. Also, I get on with loads more work at home when the house is quiet.

So why do I feel guilty? I guess it’s because this is his home too and I guess I feel like I’m pushing him out the door so that I can use it for work without interuption.

I needn’t worry though, it’s a daft notion that passes quickly. Before I know it it will be time to pick him up and the smile on his face will show he’s had a great time.
