Please tell me I am not the only one

I'm not looking forward to it, ds1 starts pre-primary this year which is 5 days a week. We have a 5yr age gap between ds1 and ds2 so this is going to be really strange, for 5yrs it was just me and my little man (and dh of course ). These school holidays have been long and he's more than ready to go back but 5 days a week is a lot.... gonna miss him heaps!!!

Its sweet that you miss them so much.

I feel like an evil mum, I am counting down the months til DS starts school in July, and I KNOW I wont miss him at all....

I am dreading my baby boy going to school. I know I'm going to cry. I tried him in childcare last year but we didn't cope. The first day I ran to the car crying lol. Maybe next year.

omg I did the exact same thing.. I tried sending Ds2 to daycare before he started prep and I was sobbing so hard at the car I could barely breath :lo: he last 3 half days and i pulled him out. We were both so miserable and he wasn't getting anything out of it so Dh and I didn't see the point of him going and he settled into school within 3 days and now in grade 2 and loves it

I couldn't wait for my boy to go back this year. Just the fighting and annoying of each other was getting to me. I did enjoy the peace and quiet this morning but by lunch I did really miss him. It's like it gets to about midday and I'm kinda counting down the time till I get him. I was kinda nervous about how he'd go and classes and teacher, etc but turns out it's all good.

When he first started preschool just one day a week, I cried and cried before he started. He didn't care though. Very independent. Same with school I was a mess and upset, and he was fine. Imagine if he was a mess like me, I would never have left. lol.
