I know I should try harder but I just feel flat at the moment.
Think i need a good kick up the bum and to get on with it.
Defently think your right might have to let one of the little ones go, shouldn't be having sleepless nights over a child that's not mine!
oh hon it is hard. I had quite a good CM friend when i started out but still found it tough on the days I didn't see her - it's hard after being with other adults lots during the day (I left an office job too).
Can you ask your local EY team to put you in touch with one of their local minders they know might mentor you unofficially or to touch base with or perhaps you could offer to befriend a newly reg. minder or two. That way you could have small meet ups first then end up going to groups together and build a small circle of CM colleagues that way (and find a few friends along the way hopefully).
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
