mum with school blues

[Harrys Mum]

Hey just wanted to know if anyone else felt this way. My DD 5 started school this week. So far has been 2 days and seems to enjoy it. On the first day I expected to feel a bit sad, but i really wasnt ready for the level of emotion I felt :(. I spent almost all day feeling really sad and felt the same way today being teary all day as well.
DH says "she is fine this is a good thing" and although I know he is trying to be supportive I just cant explain this feeling of overwhelming loss I seem to feel.

All my other friends have said "Oh I was so glad finally some time to myself" so I feel a bit silly... am I? :rain:

Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way too when my girls started school years ago. Especially when my youngest started and I had no more at home.

Please read the old thread called "Big Grade 1'er tomorrow!" and you'll see you're not alone.

When my youngest started, I wrote a poem about how I felt and gave it to the teacher. It was published in the local newspaper, and a copy of it it is in that thread. I hope it helps. It is perfectly normal to feel the way you do.
:hugs: :hugs:
