To be honest, sometimes I get said now (he's 13 months) because I just want more time with him. I miss him sooo much while I'm at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539446 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:12:37 +0000 T-Mom 539446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: I think I will definitely cry when I send DD to kinder. You are right, it actually gets worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539437 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:10:25 +0000 SAHM0811 539437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: not terrible! I didn't cry either... Was so ready to go to work too!!! </p> <p>I might cry with my second though since she's my last baby! We don't think she'll go to preschool til around 3 yo though maybe.</p> <p>@mrsmenow: I have been crying as we tour schools that my eldest is applying to for kindergarten. I think it just gets worse as they get older :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539412 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:02:54 +0000 KT326 539412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Didn't think I would since I was looking forward to going back to work. I cried the entire way to work, which is a 45 minute commute! I left early the first few days back so that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539362 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:50:00 +0000 purrpletulips 539362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539333 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:45:48 +0000 Bluebonnet 539333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - I was a sobbing mess when I left LO at daycare for the first time. She cried too. I picked her up that afternoon and cried again (she was fine, I was a mess). I cried again on day 2. I'm sure the teachers thought I was nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539285 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:38:28 +0000 Smurfette 539285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I no doubt about it that I will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539281 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:37:54 +0000 BabyBruins 539281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a nanny, but on my first day of work, as I was driving away, I just sobbed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539274 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:36:34 +0000 winniebee 539274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, cried on the first day of daycare! And probably every day the first week. But it got better after about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539267 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:34:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 539267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a half-day long mild breakdown! Cried on and off, but mostly just tense. I drove by and hid and watched him play outside. The daycare director saw me and came by and told me all about how he was doing (he was doing great, of course!). But honestly it was not bad at all especially because I was able to get emails and texts from the director about how he was doing... if he cried, if he napped, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539242 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:28:57 +0000 MaisyMay 539242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: I'm really looking forward to going back to work, no guilt over that. I'm just going to be sad leaving her on the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539240 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:28:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 539240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it was good :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539230 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:27:11 +0000 BeachMama 539230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I felt kinda relieved, to be honest. Everyone kept asking me if I was sad and I felt like the worst mom for saying no but I was happy to get back to work and adult interaction. I get sad now if she starts crying when I drop her off but overall I'm totally ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539173 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:16:55 +0000 T-Mom 539173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I totally did not. Is that terrible? I was so ready to go back to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-539169 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:16:12 +0000 Alivoo01 539169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably will. My time with him before I go back to work is so short!! Darn 12 week maternity leaves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538872 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:15:03 +0000 MaisyMay 538872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby-sitter will be watching LO at our house on Monday and I know it'll be so hard to leave her! I will probably cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538860 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:13:31 +0000 mediagirl 538860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sobbed into my husband's shoulder as soon as we left the building so, that would be a yes. It got better after a week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538859 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:12:54 +0000 mrsmenow 538859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with my second.</p> <p>I also cry every first day of school for my oldest. I drop her off and get into the car and just sob, knowing that I will only have so few first days left to drop her off. She is in 5th grade, so I will get to 7 more first days of school left with her. Next year my middle DD starts kindergarten...I am sure it is going to be even worse dropping 2 off:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538857 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:12:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 538857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope; neither me nor LO cried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538843 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:10:45 +0000 littlek 538843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. LO did not. I still get teary eyed leaving him, he just looks at me waves a toy and goes back to playing. I wish I was that cool about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538842 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:10:44 +0000 Mrsbells 538842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I went to my car and cried with DH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-538840 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:10:15 +0000 autumnlove 538840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a trial week before I went back to work and I cried the first 2 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cry-when-you-dropped-your-lo-off-at-daycarepreschool-for-the-first-time#post-528517 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:09:32 +0000 chopsuey 528517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will.. but who knows! </p>
