When I looked after Caitlyn I worked as a family educator through the PORSE network as Faraway suggested and took her to their playgroup and our own church playgroup.

Music and Movement was through another church

When I worked fulltime I had Andrew in daycare and that way he got his the child interation. He still ahs his friend Holly who  have known each other since birth (she is 3 weeks younger than him). I would suggest seeing if you can get him into a daycare for their min session requirement.]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:45:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187398&title=working-mums-question#187398 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187381&title=working-mums-question#187381 Author: Nic01

I am in exactly the same situation as you. It's hard when you work fulltime. My parents look after Matthew during the day & are fantastic with him - take him to the park, to feed the ducks etc, but I'm a bit loathe to sign him up for playcentre or mainly music because I don't want Mum feeling like she is tied into something & has to take him if there are other things she wants to do. My friends are only just starting to have kids, so they're all a lot younger than Matthew. I don't know that he's disadvantaged by not having lots of friends his age though as he interacts really well with other kids when he's at the playground or that, but I do feel a bit stink sometimes that he hasn't got friends. ]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:19:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187381&title=working-mums-question#187381 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187376&title=working-mums-question#187376 Author: Faraway

What area are you in? I know that your mum could join PORSE to go to their playgroups etc. - because she would be considered a family educator (not open to parents though) - might be worth looking into?]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:10:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187376&title=working-mums-question#187376 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187369&title=working-mums-question#187369 Author: CuriousG

I work full time - have you considered putting him into day care, even for a session or two a week? My daughter has been going since she was about 1 and really enjoys it. She goes 4 days a week and gets far more stimulation and interaction with other kids than I could ever offer her at home. It's good too because we aren't planning on having another in the near future (maybe 4-5 years if even then) so I don't feel guilty about her not having that interaction with other children. ]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:05:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187369&title=working-mums-question#187369 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187350&title=working-mums-question#187350 Author: EthansMummy

Does you child have many friends??

Ethan is 11 months old and goes to my mum during the week because I work. But he doesn't have friends or other children to interact with.

None of mine or daniels friends have kids so Ethan doesn't get that time. I am going to try and take him to playcentre one day a week but am having trouble finding time.

I just wanted to ask to see if there are any other mums in my position. ]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 12:33:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9468&PID=187314&title=working-mums-question#187314
