I dont wanna send my child to school?

Question

Its time for my baby to go to school. and i really dont want him to. hes so cute and i cried when i found out he legally has to go. id be soo lonely without him, what do i do.

Answer 1

Homeschool him

Answer 2

awww I know its hard but by the time you know it he will be home ...

You have to let go because he has to learn how to be independent...

good luck  

Answer 3

Please do some research When did you realize that he llegallyas to go to school? Most people understand that  this will be happening since their child was born..

C'mon. It's school. You're not sending him to prison or boot camp. It's tough seeing our kids grow up, I understand. I cry every year, and my oldest is starting 3rd grade next week! I cry on the last day of school, too.

Just wait until he gets into this school thing and loves it. It's hard to be so sad when our kids thrive and are happy. And, school is not the end of your carreer as a Mommy. It's just beginning. Volunteer. Help in the classroom. Schedule a "lunch date" in the cafeteria once a month. Join the PTO. Talk to the teacher and find out what she needs help with. Get involved. School won't seem so mysterious that way.

Pleae, please do not consider homschooling simply because you think he's so cute and you don't want him to leave you. That's about the worst reason I've ever heard of! Besides, homeschooling -- done RIGHT -- is NOT easy....it takes a LOT of work, research, time, and resources. You hve to be 100% committed to your child's education to make sure he will be getting not only the academics, but also the social education that he needs to be successful.

Good luck!

Answer 4

My mom started homeschooling me and my brother last year and its great and not hard. You can home school him in books,the tv,computer,or yourself. Look in to in its not hard to do and all you do is turn in a paper to the school and your good.

Google "Intent to homeschool" if its really what you want to do

Answer 5

You both will be fine! you have to let him go!!

Answer 6

It's natural, but d**n get over it.  you are lonely without your child?  That's a dependant relationship that is unhealthy.  Daycare!  That's the only answer.  It will break your heart to leave them there the first week when they are crying for you.  But you have to.  Whether you want them to or not they will grow up, that's just the way things go.

Just don't ruin the close relationship you have with the child.

Answer 7

Homeschooling would be a good option.

But just because he's so cute isn't a good enough reason to have him be taken out of public school.

Personally, I will be homeschooling my son and my #2 that is on the way.  I have a lot better reasons than "they'll be too cute to let go".

But eventually after a couple weeks or so you'll get used to him going and you should be okay. :-)

Good luck!

Answer 8

It's time to cut the apron strings. My son will be starting school on the 4th and, yes, it is hard, but I know I would not have the patience to try homeschooling. It's not for everyone. My sister in law home schools her two daughters and they are painfully shy have no friends. Their mom is not very outgoing either so they don't get to interact with others often.

Answer 9

Try homeschooling, or join a class, club, or join a gym. It'll give you something to do when he's not home.

Just think, it's for his own good. We need a good president eventually!

Answer 10

Homeschooling is an option but if he wants to go to school it is best to send him.  I know it is hard, I don't want to send my son to kindergarten either but as a mom I know I need to be strong and put his emotions before mine, I can't hold him back just because I will be sad and miss him.  It is hard.  My mom cried for hours about me starting school but she said you just learn to accept it as part of life and growing up.  

Answer 11

Not a word about what he wants, I notice.

Frankly? Get over yourself. He's a person, not your possession. You need to let him grow up. If you will be lonely then go out and find something to do while he is in school. There are thousands of organisations out thee desperate for volunteers.

Answer 12

Well you could try homeschooling but instead of you being lonely he will be.How selfish.

Answer 13

Can you help at school? Some schools need help in their library or have mums listening to children read. That way you can see how he settles in and you may make some new friends yourself - most of us have been in the same situation. Volunteer & see how you go.  

Answer 14

you should try homeschooling  

Answer 15

Is home schooling possible for you? Look into it.

Answer 16

you'll eventually get used to it. find a new pastime. don't you want him to meet lots of new friends at school and stuff?

Answer 17

I would think about homeschooling. Also are you wanting him to stay home for you? Because you dont want to let him go? I have four children and its hard everytime to let them go, but I know they will have fun and learn. Plus the interaction that learn from being people their own age is very much needed, and helps them to understand how to communicate better. I have cried everytime. I think thats its good for the child to go to school and if you choose to homeschool make sure its for the better interest of the child and not for you.

Answer 18

well do something that is in the best interest of you child....which is sending him to school, he is growing up too!!! maybe get a job..so when he is at schoo l you are busy at your work and you wont think about him

Answer 19

think about what's best for your child, not for you. A social education is so important. Children need to interact with others their age and need to have an education. You might regret not having him learn to read and write when he's ehind in all areas of life

Answer 20

You can homeschool or find something to keep your mind busy when he is at school, you will be okay

Answer 21

You let him go. It's time for him to start learning and get out from under your wing. It's time for you to find a new hobby. I'm a SAHM and I can relate to the feeling, but you know he can't stay, and that school is the best thing for him.  

Answer 22

Have you looked into homeschooling?

Answer 23

I understand he is the cutest little guy in your world, and you love him so much. I know first hand how us mothers can make our world revolve around our children. This being said I think you have to understand and put his needs ahead of your. My kids are 8 and 12. I have a real hard time with them growing up. When my youngest started school I would spend the day at the school volunteering. I did this for 4 months. I battle every day with myself over how much I am attached to my children. You have to realize this is your hang up not your child's. He deserves to have his own life. I cant comment on homeschooling, but if  you lean in that direction, I recommend you think hard and talk to people before you decide. I have a neighbor who is 14 and home schooled all her life and she hated every bit of it. One last thing is, just because he is the right age does not mean he is ready for school. I wish I would have had my oldest waite one more year before he went. I live in IN. The age here is 5 before August. You can ask the school to test him and make sure he is ready. I wish you the best. You sound so much like me LOL. You are a good mom, just be careful.

Answer 24

You need to Mom up and send him. He needs the interaction with his peers. Good Luck! Its hard for everyone.

Answer 25

There's nothing you really can do, as hard as it is to let them go, he has to go into the world. He'll meet friends, learn shapes, colors, math, everything he needs to learn. You can put notes in his lunch telling him that you love him, write something different everyday. Its hard, but you'll get used to it, its better for him to get out there otherwise it may be hard for him to meet people later on in life. Good luck, its only 7 hours, which seems long, but trust me, it will go by faster than you think.

Answer 26

Either you send him to school or your home school him or you go to jail.  Take your pick.
