Daycare troubles: is it me or are they judging my parenting?
I drop off my daughter at daycare as usual. The lead teacher greets her warmly, but then she stays seated on the bench, watching me closely after my daughter runs off to play. When I come to pick her up, it’s always a struggle. My daughter throws a tantrum and refuses to cooperate, no matter how hard I try to get her dressed. It often ends with the lead teacher stepping in to help, though it doesn’t make much of a difference. Meanwhile, the other teacher just stands there, observing everything.
I’ve also noticed some odd comments from the staff in the past, and it’s left me feeling like they’re judging me. Am I reading too much into this, or is this kind of behavior normal? They didn’t say anything this time, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being scrutinized.
