First Day

I felt the same way when my oldest first started school. Today I walked her to the bus stop, my big 4th grader. I think it is sometimes a harder time for the mom then the child. I know it was for me, she was excited and I was the one scared. Next year my little one will start kindergarten. She needed the prayer today. She saw her sissy get on that bus without her and her bottom lip puckered out and she started balling. I want my sissy, she missed her before we even got back home. Next year when they are both at school I wont know what to do.

each time i took one of the last 2 babies of mine to school the first day (my youngest daughter and youngest son) i cried...most of the day till i went to get them. reason being, my youngest daughter was 6 yrs after my third child and i thought she would be my last baby. then i had my son, six yrs after her, so i thought this was my last and it was. my first 3 kids were like 1 a year so i was glad to get the break. but i understand the moms pain because of what i thought was my last babies.

ya,i also had a stomach upset when my son went to school for the first time.his teachers there are very good but i was plagued with unreasinable thoughts like how my son will survive for 2hrs without me and so on.............

My DIL will also need one soon. Little Ali Lou starts school in a couple of weeks and I have already seen tears! I remember when my oldest started school. I dropped her off...helped her across the street and she headed for the door and never looked back....I however was sitting in the car crying my eyes out!

I am praying. I have said a prayer for God to watch over all our kids while they are in school. I understand how the mother of your grandson feels. Her baby going off to school and being away from mommie and home for such a long length of time. But it has to be done and it is for his own benefit. They will get used to it and in the meantime, her baby will develop a lot of skills, like friendship, dependability, education. That's life, we as parents have all been through it. Like the saying goes, "this too shall pass". All of you will be proud of the young fellow. I know it hurts us more than the children. Be blessed.

I was dreadful when my children started school.By number four began school my husband insisted that I was not to drop her off and that he would do it. she never gave any trouble. I had a boy who cried every day for a year. Yes a year. Do you know what this did to me? I was a total wreck even though the teacher toldme he stopped as soon as I left the classroom. I always am, in need of prayer

Hi Jo It tore me apart when my 2 started School but it is even harder when they leave School and start to work as you know then your Babies have grown up Good luck to the little Fellow and to his Mum as well

My daughter and the two granddaughters left Minnesota yesterday a. m. for a trip to OKC. by way of Nebraska and Kansas. This grandma needs prayers for them. At the end of this month the oldest one starts preschool. She is bright as a whip but a chatterbox and pretty set in her ways. Needs to learn how to be with other kids. I am sure they will all need prayers then. They do grow up quickly.

School in August? When did they start this?

He must be so excited to be attending school now. I am sure your grandson is full of excitement attending to his first day at school. But where is his mother? I hope she is well. I think most of us pray everyday as food for our soul, and also pray for others who needed our prayers.

Hi ANTIQUELADY Well I guess in the UK we still have it to got through as my kids don't go back to school after the summer hols until the 2nd September and others in the country go back the week after that. I have done it three times now and it didn't get any easier, I am of course fine now and am enjoying some time to myself and some time to get things done!!

Hello my old friend!!!! You grandson is in school already? Time does fly. I remember when my oldest son first went to school. I was more nervous than he was. My little baby was old enough to go to school and would meet new friends. It seems like just yesterday, however, now he is an adult and recently started his first "grown up" job. Make sure to tell us all about your grandson's first day.

this takes me down the memory lane...how must have my mom felt on my first day at school. I love my mom and miss her lots. We dont know what our parents go through unless we become parents some day.

first day of school is excited and nervous because we are being puzzle on what will happened to us in the classroom.parents should support children especially in this event in their life.motivate them to enjoy and interact

naw I could hardly wiat for Cheyenne to go to school as an only child she needed the kids to broaden her outlook and she did great and she is so proud to be going to K this year. WHen she got out of prek she hollered bye preK hello K not sudre when she will start back.

I haven't experienced it yet but I guess it is quite exciting sending your kid's son or daughter to school. Perhaps I will be more happier than his or her mom. And of course, my prayers will be nonstop, I guess.

i don't have a grandson,but i think first time always means lot to everybody.first to school,first time to have a date,etc,first times amazing.

I can relate! When my daughter was four years old she started kindergarten and she was so excited at the idea of going! We live across the road from the school and since she was two years old she had wanted to go there and play with the children. On that first day she was jumping out of her skin with excitement and I was so nervous! We arrived at her class and after she settled in she said to me, “Mummy you have to go now, okay?” Here I was holding back the tears at the prospect of leaving her and she was asking me to go! I did leave and shed a couple of tears as I walked away although I was glad that she was so keen...What a milestone the first day of her school life...Huge!

LOL...time certainly does fly. I'm used to mine being in school but I remember when they started and they looked so small in that big ole classroom. I just wanted to scoop them up and get them out of there...lol...I could've used a prayer or two then...lol

hi,i am not a father or grandfather, but i really remember my first day to school, nervous, i am crying and crying, so many stangers, teacher, maybe the person scared me at that time. hahh lol.
