Did you cri when your child first went to school?

Question

how long did you to get over it, that ur childs in school now? i really dont want mine to go :( but she will have to go

Answer 1

Well, my child cried in pre-school.  This wasn't regular preschool though, she was in speech therapy and had to go to this summer program for it.   It was 2x a week for 5 weeks, and she cried every single day, except for the 1st day and the last day.  I cried every freaking time too.  I felt like the biggest baby.  But when she was so upset about it, I got upset.  When she started regular preschool in the fall, she was all smiles and loved it, so I didn't worry anymore.

Answer 2

When I first went to school, my parents didn't cry either...

Answer 3

Answer 4

The first time. Now it's more of a "yes, she's finally out of the house!"

Answer 5

I bawled my eyes out when my first 2 kids went to school. I am sure I will with my third too. I think for me it was just the fact that they are becoming so independent. Made me kinda sad like the next step is college or something haha. I think I got over it when they starting coming home talking about their new friends and telling me all about their day.

Answer 6

i cried when i went to school 4 the 1st time

Answer 7

Nope! my little girl(now aged six) was so excited to go and when she got there she couldn't get away quick enough lol! I was happy that she settled in so well,but was left feeling a little rejected :(

She had been going to a nursery school for a couple of hours a day every weekday from the age of 3,so i think by the time it came to her going to school she was more than ready for it.

I think the time when i might cry will be when the time comes for high school............Then i might feel like my heart has been ripped from my chest!
