One mother is concerned for her child as her mum takes care of the boy two days a week. The mum, who shared her story on social media, says the grandmother looks after her son a few days each week is a massive help.However, the anonymous woman is concerned that the pair do not leave the house on the days she takes control.

The child, who is said to be nearly two years old, does not get taken to do any classic activities, such as a walk in the park or play groups for children, reports NottinghamshireLive.The mum is now considering the possibility of putting her son into nursery so that he can get out more, and says the situation makes her feel 'really down' despite being ‘extremely grateful' for her mother's help while she is at work.The toddler's wellbeing and development is said to be at the forefront of the mother's mind but she did explain some reasons why the pair do activities at home instead.She wrote on Mumsnet: “My mum has [my son] for usually 2 days per week whilst I work, he is 20 months.

I’m extremely grateful for her having him and is saving us a fortune."She is so loving and adores [my son], I just feel a bit worried because he stays in her home all day, and mostly in the living room.

She plays with him but they don’t even go out for a walk (he hates his pram), he has a long nap so that breaks up the day."She’s too shy to go to groups, she’s too scared to take him to the park (he is unstable on his feet and tries to run everywhere).
