How do you feel when kids start school??

Lol, I miss mine, but I'm also glad when school is in session. I have three and they can be a handful. One is still at home, so there is not sort of an empty nest left. Maybe I'll feel different when he starts preschool next year. Sorry that your son had a bit of a rough start. Kids are resiliant;) Mine love school. I'm sure yours will, too. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and enjoy the bit of freetime you are getting right now. Once the baby is here... well you know what will happen;)

I think that parents can't wait for school to happen so they can get the children out of the house. you can't watch them 24/7. it would be a real pain. so that is probably the reason.

Its horrible when they start school, I hated it with each and everyone of them. I have four altogether, one left last year and two are in school full time now. My youngest is at home with me but in September she will start in the integrated nursery of the school my boys are at, she will go each morning all week. I am going to miss her terrible, she is such good company and OK she will only be gone for 2 and half hours but it is a long time when we have never been apart!! I am dreading it.

Hello there, as of the moment I don't know what would be the feelings that my kids are started going to school. My children are still very young 1 year and 5 months and the other one is 5 months old. Well, that time will come and by just imagining right now I am sad because surely I will miss them. Even when I go out for a few hours without them I'm always in a hurry coz I missed my children already. So I understand how you feel right now. I think as a mother this kind of feelings is normal.

I was exactly the same way, I was so sad for my son to start school this year, and I was terrified how he would respond to the teacher, and interact with the other kids, and would they be mean to him, and all that. well school is half over, and we have had parent teacher conf and he is doing well and my son loves school, he doesnt like to miss, so I am doing better, but I am always there to drop him off, walk him to the door and there to pick him up everyday... so I am doing better, but I am anxious for summer vacation as well...LOL good luck to us all!! LOL

I think we all go through the phase thinking that we cant wait for the kids to start school. But in reality, when the day comes...it is very sad. Our little one is growing up and beginning on a new venture..We worry about how they will do, will they get lost, will get arrive home safely.. I have been through this 4 times and the first time was definately the hardest... All children too are different and handle this new venture differently as well...SOme cry, some dont, some laugh.... The day my second child started school, I walked her to the bus trying hard to hold back the tears..She very calmly and happily ran and jumped on the bus with no reguard to how I felt....not even a bye mom!!...Once she spotted her friends on the bus,,,i was no longer needed..I think I cried harder that day!!

I feel the same way. I hear people all the time when summer vacation is over saying "Thank God!!" Not me, I love my kids being home with me. They are happy and rested. if I had a little more confidence in myself I make actually consider homeschooling. It is nice to hear that they love to spend time with their children and not wanting to hand them off so quickly.

I have the experience of worrying for people whom we love most, for instance, I worry for my husband and son or in law when they drive. Mother's worry never ends. "We worry if they will pass the class, from their first day of school until their last. We worry about them going off to college and if we gave them enough knowledge. We worry for them when their heart does break and the scar that they might never shake. We worry for them on their wedding day, that the love they share may never fade. We worry for them when their baby comes now their worrying has just begun." A Mother's worry never ends. It just evolves and grows and starts again. to make ourselves relieved, we had better change for a new perspective, which will affect the family in the positive way, and do good for the kid, as well.
