We adopted a toddler, ran through all our clothes and then lived in non iron gym clothes for a few weeks.

There is absolutely no time to iron and no way I’m spending my already negative reserve of energy on that. What are you all wearing these days?

Is there a brand of clothing in the UK that’s non iron, smart casual?

My little one is 19 months old and has had no interaction with other children her age for her whole life.

She’s been with us for two months and it’s really obvious that she needs some time with other kids (eg from interactions at the park and rhyme times we’ve been to). I want to give her a couple of sessions at nursery so she can learn in a structured high quality setting and learn how to play with other children.

Other adopters tell me Childrens’ social workers don’t like nursery for adopted kids. She has been with us two months and is very attached to both of us.

Social workers worry about attachment but his social worker hasn’t been to see him much and I think all they would be basing a ‘no’ on is time. Social workers don’t seem to spend enough time to see the attachment we have already.

Does anyone have any experience in this area?

Nursery would also help me to adjust to parenthood better. I am burning out after two months of toddlerhood and could really use a few hours a week for myself. Just a session or two.
