    I have no first hand advice cause I have not had to deal with this myself ~ however my understanding is that you are not alone ... while we stay home with our children and do home childcare because we want them to have the 'best of everything' and being home while earning an income is an awesome option it is a huge adjustment for them to have to 'share' their mother, their home, their toys and so forth and well they are just not old enough to appreciate they GAIN they are getting that yes while they have to 'share' their mama they at least are spending quality and quantity time with her, while they have to share their home they are at least at home and they likely have way more toys and materials that any other child despite having to 'share' them and so forth.

    My guess is that she does better 'out and about' because those feelings of 'sharing' are not associated with the park, playgroups and so forth because they are public places she has always had to 'share' ... I would try having some heart to hearts with how lucky she is that her mama is able to do what she does even when it does come with some 'downsides' of sharing her with other kids and so forth.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
