How do you mothers feel when your child always tears up and starts crying when you leave them?

Answer 1

I cannot stand it! I did this for the first time about 3 weeks ago. And she is going on 11 months...We had to come back for her, LOL.

Answer 2

As a teacher and parent, I know it hurts when your child cries when you leave. However, I know for a fact that children love to make Mommy feel bad. Once Mom is out of sight, the child rarely continues to cry. The crying is for Mom's benefit only usually. The child will stop crying and be happy within just a few minutes. So, as long as you know you are leaving your child in a safe place, ....RELAX. The best thing to do is to say to your child, "I know you will be fine." Give him/her a kiss and a hug and say, " Byebye. See you soon. Have fun." And then leave. Don't look back and don't feel bad.Your child will instinctively know you are confident in your choice of child care and will stop crying as soon as you are out of sight.

Answer 3

It breaks my heart and the first time they did it I cried all the way to work/school and called when I got there to see if they were still crying. My daughter is 7 months and she crys when I leave her for the day with the babysitter. But I know that she is in good hands and is safe so I feel better.

Answer 4

It's always hard and it makes you cry sometimes too. You just have to know that it's best for the child to get used to other people because there will be times when you have to leave them and you don't want them to feel this way forever. They don't cry forever... usually until you get out of sight.

Answer 5

heartbroken, but don't worry in time the child won't do this anymore. My son was like that until he was 3 1/2 then he
could care less if I left or not. Just do it a little @ a time then make it a little longer each time, in a while the child
will get use to it & it won't be an issue anymore.

Best of luck

Answer 6

You feel awful...it just tears you up. But nine times out of ten as soon as your out of the driveway they are fine and playing with friends, or your sitter. I always made a habit of telling my girls when I was taking them to the sitter and when they would be picked up and by who (me or their dad). They always knew what to expect and I never made a big issue of good-byes. Being matter of fact and honest has always worked for us and we never really had any separation problems with any of our children. I think it is all in your approach. In today's world you need two incomes unless you are very lucky...so your children need to understand that they are loved, safe and you will return. That's life.

Answer 7

I thankfully do not have to go through that anymore, my children are older. However, i do remember that i would feel very tortured as though i was not being a good mom, but i had to work and it was just a necessary part of life. But it did make me feel really bad. But i can honesty say they are all much older and two are grown and in college so we all made it through thank God.
