He refuses to let go when we get in the door, breaks down when I pry him off my leg or out of my lap after a hug. It is terrible. :sad: To be fair, we pulled him from his last daycare that was about 50/50 bad mornings to go to a temp babysitter with her kids while we looked for a new daycare. She's not a great match for my cuddly sensitive child, but we know it is temporary till we find a better place. catomd00 on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645992 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 07:47:21 +0000 catomd00 2645992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can count on one hand probably, but she's with my inlaws. yin on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645991 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 07:46:38 +0000 yin 2645991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO1 (5) wakes up on the wrong side of the bed once every other month or less. It's rare, but when it happens... oh boy, it's a disaster. Screaming child walking to the bus stop who refuses to get on the bus sort of ordeal. LO2 (3) refuses to walk into the classroom once or twice a week (he only goes 3x/wk...). It's a struggle to get him into the classroom, but the teachers are great and help get him adjusted.

This year - we switched to another school and he's only had one bad day, which ended the second we got in the car (he didn't want to leave whatever toy he was playing with that morning). The new school made a huuuuuge difference. avivoca on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645925 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 00:42:28 +0000 avivoca 2645925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They are all bad right now because of the new baby. Once she gets there, she is fine, but it's the getting up/ready/in the car that is rough.

His teachers have to hold him and he flails around and kids them everyday. Ugh! nana87 on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645858 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 19:04:11 +0000 nana87 2645858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ These days she's pretty happy during drop off. She doesn't want to say bye or give a hug, she says "I'm too busy" lol runnerd on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645848 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 18:19:28 +0000 runnerd 2645848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @beckysue: :heart: glad I'm not alone too!

I consider myself very lucky! DD1 did daycare full-time when she was younger and was often weepy/clingy...like 3 out of 5 days! She grew out of it around 2.5-3. beckysue on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645774 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 15:19:52 +0000 beckysue 2645774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @runnerd: I'm sorry you have so many rough mornings, I feel you pain. I'm glad you posted because I was beginning to think there was something wrong. My daughter is 26 months old and dropoffs are ROUGH! :sad: skinnycow on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645771 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 15:14:55 +0000 skinnycow 2645771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never. I think she would have some bad mornings if I did drop-off instead of DH though because she gets upset when I leave the house/room sometimes. runnerd on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645716 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 14:06:45 +0000 runnerd 2645716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ About 3 out of 5 mornings 😪 (He's 27 months) sapphire on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645648 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 13:11:33 +0000 sapphire 2645648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never! Thankfully! She's 1.5 and loves her daycare and always settles right in. 808love on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645501 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 11:20:56 +0000 808love 2645501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ None but she is 5. I don't know what went on preschool. DH did that and I think it was more drama about getting ready than drop off.

But he says every morning that he doesn't want to go because he wants to hang out with me :bummed: I used to feel so guilty, but now DD's sleep has gone to the dogs so I'm 100% sure he's better off in day care than with me. I'm a beast now when anyone needs anything from me, plus work is the only time I can eat, sit, and rest my mind a little. Funny enough, DD is such an easy kid in the morning and goes off to day care without a fuss. Though maybe she'll start to object more when she gets a little older. looch on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645477 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 10:58:58 +0000 looch 2645477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At the actual drop off, hardly any more...I feel like we earned it though, with almost 3 years of bad drop offs.

LO2: Only after vacationing with the family or the holidays. Sorry she had a bad morning today! :( winniebee on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645453 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 10:35:29 +0000 winniebee 2645453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My older son basically never. He might cling to my leg a little but there are never tears. My younger son - every day :( bushelandapeck on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645378 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 09:04:41 +0000 bushelandapeck 2645378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Now that he's gotten back into the routine of school, hardly ever. That being said....he throws a major meltdown about going into gymnastics almost every week. I dread Fridays because I never know how it's going to go. And there is almost no way to know with him because he will say he's excited to go, get there and play with the other kids while we wait to go in, and then totally refuse to participate when it's time for the class to start. And he's been doing gymnastics for 2.5 years, so it;s not like it's something band new to him. *sigh* snowjewelz on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645362 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 08:34:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2645362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Maaaaybe like once a month too, max... And by bad I mean like she just is more clingy/weepy and didn't want to let go of daddy right away (DH does drop off). We've never really had a full out meltdown drop off before! mediagirl on "How often does your child have a bad morning drop-off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-child-have-a-bad-morning-drop-off#post-2645355 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 08:24:09 +0000 mediagirl 2645355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a bad morning about once a month. This morning was one. First her boots felt weird when we were in the car. We walked in and adjusted her socks and then sat in the gym for 10 minutes with me getting more and more frustrated and her sitting there, stubborn, refusing to move because something felt "weird." She cried the whole time. She snotted on me when she was giving me my kisses and hugs. So, we both had a bad morning. Happy Halloween! How often does your child have a bad morning at drop-off?
