Just registered my youngest for kindergarten.    Im sick to my stomach just thinking about him going to school. I wonder why. I wasnt this bad with my other two.  He has never had anyone be mean to him, except his siblings of course, and I know there is gunna be a mean little kid in there. Isnt there always. I asked my husband If I could get him home just one more year  I cant of course. I just hope he doesnt do like my daughter did on her first day of school. I was upset, first kids first day of school. so, im wanting to talk to her and give her a hug and she says " ok mom!! can you go now I wanna go in and sit down!" I bawled alllll the way home. I dont want him upset about going either but come on throw me a bone ok. lie to me. make me think your gunna miss me a little ok     This is going to be so hard. so, be prepared. His first day of school im gunna be a mess and will probably come in here and whine.

I know.  Thats what I try to tell myself. But I cant help feeling down about it. We raise em to be good, honest people and then they leave and take our lives with them. I know its just kindergarten but its got me thinking about when they move out and leave for good. Its crazy.  I should not be this upset. He will only be five minutes away. It will get better right? after a couple of weeks of routine I wont be so    I hope.

I am having those feelings now except it's my youngest going into her last year of school and will be leaving the nest when she finishes! I think it's harder now than when I dropped her off the first day of preschool. I guess because since kindergarten she has always been with me every day because I started homeschooling her ever since.

I don't remember having this feeling when my son left home I guess I'm just having more worries for her because she is a young woman now and ready to go into the world and conquer life. It's so scary but I just have to trust her to do the right thing and be here for her no matter what choices she makes in life.

I remember that feeling well, and my kids are 16 and 13 now.   They grow up too fast. 
Wishing you the best on his first day, you'll be fine, keep those tissues handy.   

my 2 little ones are off to full day k this year as well but I think that my having worked in childcare and headstart has helped me and them deal with the seperation ( I worked at the same head start they attended last year) 

Be strong and know that if your little one does not show separation anexiety that you have taught em to be strong and confident.
I know mine will be fine but I still am going to worry about them cause this year it will be a new school and they will be in separate classes.

ok look at the bright side you will now have more time to get things done without being interupted.  I am planning on finishing up the painting that my rooms have been masked off for since well long enough that the tape may possibly have chemically fused to the trim  We all know that painting the inside of a house with kids hanging around is a big nono unless you do not mind extra work cleaning or repainting to cover the finger prints lmao

unfortunately I will have only about a week between my kids going to school until I get called back to work  still not sure how I feel about that

You will be fine and feel free to tell us if you are not I am sure you will not be alone with your feelings 
To cope you can always grab your hubby try for another and do this all again in 6 years   

I remember my first day of school, it was new and it was an adventure and I had to make it what I wanted it to be, remember your 1st day or days. I grew up in the military and the moves were really a test.  

I know what you mean.  My youngest is starting kindergarten also.  I think what is upsetting me so much is he is my youngest.  Kindergarten is the beginning of the end of all the mommy cuddles and hugs and kisses and the kiss my boo boo mommy. You know what I mean. None of my kids have cried on the first day they just walked on in a left me standing at the door. I don't think he will be any different. It does make you feel kinda sad though.  I know it's gonna take all the will power I have (which is not much at times) to walk away and leave him there even though I know it's only for 6 hours.  Wow 6 hours seems so long !
He told me "Mommy I am gonna miss you so much but don't be sad when I'm gone!"
