My daughter broke my heart this morning.

Yes I have. For as long as I could remember my son was always excited about being old enough to go to school. When he was 3 he started preschool, he also went when he was 4. Through the whole first year never onec did he cry for mommy, almost all the way through the second year the same thing..but about 2 months before the school year ended..i had taken him to school and needed to talk to the teacher..so i was standing in the classroom with her for oh about 3 or 4 mins...he was off playing and just as i turned to leave, he lost it..dont leave, im gonna miss you, i want mommy and was hysterically crying. The teacher said just go he will be fine..but omg did it kill me insidde. We dont know what set it off, but it crushed me to see him like that, though i knew he was going to be ok. As soon as i got home i called the teacher and she said he calmed down before i probably got back to my car..poor kid.

Aaaawwww.... That is sooo sweet! My daughter is just 9 months but already she's showing sweetness towards me and cries everytime I go near the door. She would scream "Mamamamameee....". Then, I would run to her to calm her down, and she would! Then, she'd give me her tiny hug that I love so much! I can't wait till she can say "I miss you mommy!" You are so lucky! Your daughter loves you so much!

Awwww. She loves her mommy. I used to cry all of the time when I had to go to school and leave my parents too. My daughter used to cry all of the time when I dropped her off at daycare. She loved school though and always wanted to go.

Not my oldest daughter or my oldest son (they were both way to independent) but my youngest daughter and son did. It made me feel like a low down rotten Mother! But we all got over it eventually. The girls are 28 and 26 y/o and the boys are 13 and 12y/o now and the only time they need me is when they are sick!LOL

Oh yes, many times.*S* Even at 27 and 23, they can call just because they haven't talked to me in a couple of days. I am used to that part. What I never get used to, and the part that catches me off guard is when they call, and say, " I just have missed you the passed couple of days, and I wanted to hear my mommy's voice". My daughter does this more than my son, but he still has his moments. It makes all those times I thought I was not being a good mother melt away.

Many times, both, they're 5 and half and 4 and half and I think is quite normal..to separate themself from mother or father is a problem also because they don't have a really cognition of the time, we know what it means "we se us in 3 hours" but they don't.. Nun

That would have broke my heart. Kids will do that. I think I am lucky that my mom doesn't have a phone cause my little sister would b calling me every hour on the hour like she did when she was sick and had to stay 4 days in the hospital. Sometimes they make our hearts hurt so much when they whisper their little words like I love you or I miss you. It makes you fell love and needed. What else do we need to feel as though we could conquer the world? The love of a child is awesome!

My nephew does this each time his mother goes out, or each time his mother goes to school or work. He is really attached to his mom, and I hate to have to see him cry or get angry when his mother leaves, but what am I to do?

My daughter just started full day prek at the school. The first day, the teacher's assistant was like "we are going to have so much fun today." She looks at me and says "yeah, but I am really going to miss my mommy." I started crying, she didn't cry though. I know the first day of school is a big deal and overwhelming, but my daughter was so excited about it. Occassionlly, she will go and visit with family or friends and she usually acts like she can't wait for me to leave lol, so I was a little bit suprised.

Aww...poor thing. I guess she is still adjusting to leaving you every morning. It is sweet and sad at the same time. My son will sometime come up to me before he heads off to get on the bus and hug me and tell me that he wants to stay home with me and Lily for the day.

All the time. Children are people with their own thoughts and feelings and you can't always know what they're thinking or how they will react!

It must be nice to feel so important. :)

Hey Hey School is a big change for kids and for the parents . Aww, with what she said . It must be hard to hear . I remember when i started school i cried while we were walking to go inside the classroom . I still remember this one boy who would not let go of his moms legs and was screaming .

Kids, in their early years when they were born out of the mothers womb. You and her is connected, you nurse her till she was old enough for her to go to the elementary (Primary school for us over here). During this year she still can't let herself go and flew away from the nest of yours and she still wants you to be with her and walk her to the school.

It is very sweet but it can be a big handicap too. In many ways it is good for children to get used to mummy not being around and then mummy coming the next day for a grand reunion. They soon get used to it and then you can leave them for a while without the trauma.

This is so sweet of your baby girl... Sigh... Kids can say the sweetest things. I don't have a child yet but I hope my kid will be as sweet as yours. Thanks for sharing this.

my daughter used to do that to i started kissing her hand an closing it into a fist an tell her if she needed it she could have a kiss fromm me while she was in school an it work she would walk to the bus with her hand in a fist holding her kiss then on the way home her hand would be swinging by her side because she had use the kiss sadly as the years went by she didn't need my kiss to make it though the day

hi ersmommy1 I am now elderly and a widow. but when my own son was five, oh how I remember how here I was trying to get him'on the bus to kindergarten and how He was crying, I dont wanna go, Mommy while trying to get off. But once he had gone for several days he began to like the other kids and specially his teacher. One day we had taken him to school ourselves and his teacher came out to greet us. He took one look and started crying, you arent my teacher. Want my teacher. We found out that his old teacher had had to quit as she was almost nine months preganant. His new teacher, a very pretty sweet young woman, smiled and said, oh my I hope the other kids dont feel that way. true enough a few days later my son said he loved his teacher and was going to marry her when he grew up. fickle are the ways of little kids. lol lol.

Yes, sometimes I go to work and come back and all is good Somedays, she'll ask why I took 'a long time' and that she missed me very much... I know it will be the same today as I had a few days off to settle her into school. Did the same this morning, dressed her, breakfast and combed her hair and left when she was good to go.. They're so adorable

I haven't experienced such things yet. I have an 8 months old son. And he is so sweet despite of being young.
