kids away back to school today?

Question

my wee one started p.1, i was happy but other mums were crying(must be mad!) did you cry when your kids started primary???

Answer 1

i'll let you know in 2 weeks......btw im a dad so i thinking no, but you never can tell.

Answer 2

I did not cry when my son started school. I was excited not sad. That was going to be his first step to really growing up.

But let me tell you this My son is now 13 and I cry every year on the last day of school, because I know I will be driven crazy all summer, then I rejoice when he goes back.

OK j/k but he really does drive me crazy during the summer even tho I love him with all my heart.

Answer 3

mine go back in another whole 2 weeks (not that I am counting the days or anything). No, I didnt cry when my first went, I went back to uni and did my degree. It was excellent being able to talk to intelligent adults again ALL day!

Answer 4

Not a mum yet....but every parent I know either had a lump in their throat or cried buckets

Answer 5

i didnt cry with any of my 3
(my oldest couldnt wait to start was bugging me every few mins from 6am about if it was time to go to school yet)

i was worried however about my middle one as she has autisim but she coped fine

Answer 6

I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. MOST PARENTS USUALLY SHED SOME TEARS BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT THEIR LITTLE ONES AREN'T SO LITTLE ANYMORE AND THEY ARE USUALLY TH E PARENT THAT KEPT THE CHILDREN HOME INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM TO PRE-SCHOOL. MY MOTHER MADE A COMMENT TO ME WHEN I TOOK MINE TO KINDERGARTEN: WELL, THEY AREN'T YOURS ANY LONGER". THERE'S ALOT TO BE SAID ABOUT THAT QUOTE. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 7

thank god for that
