so my boys are 5 and starting school in the fall. i've been home with them since bieth, and my heart is tearing apart. next week they go for 2 afternoon just to give them an idea of whats to come. they cant wait for big school, they have no hesitation what so ever. someone please tell me why i want to cry everytime i think about it. i cant imagine letting them get on the bus all alone, etc.. sometimes i think i would feel better if they didnt want to go. has aanyone else experienced this? im more sad than they are.

I think it's natural to feel worried about starting school it's a big step for all of you, but they need to go eventually and if they know you are apprehensive it culd make them worry that it's not ok. You may well feel lost without them both but think of all that freedom, getting the chores done so you can spend special time with them when they get home doing fun things.
I was really sad when Roo started playschool and still sometimes keep him hoome because I missed him the other mornings, terrible really he only goes 9 to 11.45 and he's always 10 - 15 minutes late as I have to take Bong into school first, but he's my youngest and I do feel sad sometimes. I'm not looking forwards to him starting primary school at all but I have another year yet, he'll be nearly 5 when he goes.
