Dear Queenie,
I am about to enrol my daughter in pre-school and my mother is a caregiver at a pre-school. The problem is that there is another pre-school that I think would be much better for my daughter, but I don’t want to hurt my mother’s feelings.
Queenie, how do I decide between the two schools?—Uncertain
Dear Uncertain,
Have you discussed this with your mother? You may find there really is not as much difference between the two pre-schools as you think. Or she may agree with your assessment of them. Whatever your final conclusion, you should do what is best for your child. Surely you can find a way to make it up to your mother if you do not choose her school.
