Churned up about child going to school....

I had to be carried into the classroom kicking and screaming at the age of 5.
No-one thought to tell me I would some home again afterwards :rolleyes:
I went on to become a teacher:)

i understand why they settle them in half days the first week ( my son will go mornings from monday then fulltime after that)

4 weeks!

3 weeks of 2 hours in the afternoon, then a week of mornings, staying for lunch, then full time.

DS2 was in the oldest group last year, so had a few days of half days then full time.

There's 4 weeks short of 2 years between them, but they are in the next classes because of cut off dates. DS3 was born by section on the day of my 41 week check......I was determined not to leave hospital as one person and have another september birthday, lol!! He's bored at home half days now - imagine another year!! At least DS2 had DS3 at home to play with in that year.

(a very bad) Mumxx

He did really well. Didn't cry at all. Neither did he cry when he started the new school. He did look worried. Dropped him off today and he looked worried again but I sat him near a mate of his and he looked a bit happier.

E did cry today as predicted. She looked all happy until she walked into the classroom and her face dropped.


Awww, sorry! I've been really missing Manchester recently. It will always be home to me!

Glad it went OK for the kids M, I miss Manchester as well, Its bloomin boring stuck over here, even the sheep snub me for having the the accent.

That's cos we're top, mad-fer-it, boss. Yuk, sounds awful now, taxi!!.......

And big thanks for A's PEkit (did you even know it had been passed on!?!) - just the right size for W, and stopped me having to buy a third overpriced poor quality set


Sorry, thread hijacking over, back on topic..........


Less than half an hour to go now. DS3 has pestered to go all morning. Thing is, I just know he'll cry:( He has been asking for lunch all morning, so he can go to school quicker, and muffled sounds through a mouthful of stuffed in sandwich sounded like 'can we go now?' lol!!

LOL MUM,

Bless, don't you just love kids. L was having kittens this morning to get to school, she had her uniform on at 645 and I had to take it back off to shower her! When I went back downstairs B was sat having his breakfast wearing L's dirty uniform from yesterday I nearly P'd myself laughing - he has another 2 years before school btu he thought he was going...

Hope your morning went smoothly alan?

Yes, thanks, he completely ignored both of us and ran off to play with everything in site. Typical Mum and boy are now happily back home discussing his exciting morning.

He was the only one crying. Scrub that, sobbing.

All was fine until we got into class. All the parents stayed just inside the door, and the kids went to sit down. At this point, he sobbed. I went and crouched by him sat down, and tried to calm him, but he was still sobbing when I left.

Aw no you must have felt awful, it must have been really hard leaving him..
