My Oldest Is Off To School

When my kids were much younger, I love sending them off to school. I know I'll get a little peace n quiet around the hse for a few hours.

well that is part of being a parent. you just have them let them go sooner or later

i can understand how you.but darling thats the way of life.as the days passes by ,you will feel better.

I was rather anxious, I worried about them, what if they got lost on the way home from school, what is some older kids beat up on them? I was already prepared because they had to go to separate kindergarten classes one in the morning and one in the afternoon because they had a twin language and they had to learn other children talk. But now they were both gone for the day. I am not a crier, but I am a worrier and I missed them, but at least, they were going to learn how to read and well, for that time, print and they were very excited about going to school.

Oh when my first child started school it was the worst day ever.... For me! I went into the classroom with him and he started talking to a few little boys that he knew that were starting with him, turned to me and said 'see ya later mom,' and carried on talking. All I could do was say goodbye to him and head off!!! All I can remember after that was getting home and ringing my mom crying on the phone that he didnt want me there!!! All she did was laugh lol.... Only that I had a 7 week old baby at the I would have been totally lost without him!! :-)

I have one son. He started first grade this year. And It was really hard to send him. You get that sinking feeling in your stomach, your stomach is completely in knots. I have to say its been the hardest thing I had to do so far since he has been born. I actually cried all the way home after I dropped him off to class the first day of school. It was like how can I trust this person with my baby for all these hours a day. It was very hard on him. It was hard on me as well. He has never been away from me this long. But it does get easier. You get use to it. I still miss him lots when he's at school, but besides learning so much he's made so many friends. He's actually having alot of fun.
