Oh my goodness. You are talking about 3hrs a week for 2 days a week for a THREE year old. Oh dear...you are NOT an awful mother at all. I am so sorry that you are not being supported in your decisions. I am hugely committed to being availabe to your children - to being home with them as much as possible BUT my little girl has been off to kinder this year at three and it has been brilliant for her! She is at a stage of really testing her independence and knowing that she has a safe, nurturing place in which do this that's NOT with her family has been a great thing for her. Really my opinion and experience aren't the point though. The point is that there are many schools of thought about this and you are NOT an awful mother for your choice and I'm really sorry that your mother isn't supporting you through an emotional decision and is intead so publically calling you out on FB. It may be a joke but I would be really hurt if my mother did that, joking or not.
