This morning, B grabbed my hand, walked me around the classroom, and handed me toys. When I went to leave, he yelled, ran to me, grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door. He waved goodbye and say "bye" and his friends said "Bye Bn Bn". His little face crumbled when I had to remove my hand and leave him there. :( Rough morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1226206 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:12:51 +0000 mediagirl 1226206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: no doubt. Yesterday she "talked" all the way to daycare. Then, she "talked" as we walked into daycare and as she started playing with the toys. I'm glad she's happy there and comfortable but man, I wanted to stay and play with her because she looked like she was having so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1226188 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:08:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 1226188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: They do, don't they! I was really sad about leaving the baby phase, but yanno, every day she is more fun, more adorable, more awesome. I had no idea kids were this much fun and so fanbloodytastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1226058 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:08:24 +0000 californiadreams 1226058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1226043 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 07:58:35 +0000 mediagirl 1226043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it will ever get easier. She's 17 months and it just gets harder every day as she gets more and more fun to hang out with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1226039 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 07:54:04 +0000 lizzywiz 1226039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swing both ways ;-)<br /> It depends on her mood:<br /> If LO is sweet and silly and fun in the morning I am so sad to pack up for daycare.<br /> If she is being extra naughty or whiney I keep checking the clock for when we can leave, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1224456 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 14:41:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1224456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really does eventually get easier!

It will be super hard when E goes into daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223558 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:22:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1223558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do miss LO come Monday. It's nice to sleep in a bit and not have to worry about hustling and bustling out the door and making sure I have everything in the morning. Plus, it breaks my heart having to wake him up in the morning when he's sleeping so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223514 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:08:48 +0000 cascademom 1223514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually hate it, but having him throw a huge tantrum over a pacifier this morning makes me happy to be at work right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223461 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:00:49 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1223461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so with you. I hate it. But that's how I feel pretty much five days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223451 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:58:31 +0000 littlek 1223451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mondays are the worst... I'm so sad today. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223439 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:56:27 +0000 rachiecakes 1223439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: YES! when he was tiny he would smile and wave when I left and now it's, "mama? mama? nooo.. mama!" ugh.. </p> <p>Mondays are the WORST. We had such a fun weekend. I just want to play with him all day today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223424 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:51:46 +0000 plantains 1223424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I feel the same way too! I think it is more of a toddler/preschooler vs baby thing though. They are just so exhausting once they can run and climb stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223420 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:51:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 1223420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: @Smurfette: @Bookish: Me too. We had such a great weekend at our house . . . all I want to do is stay home and play with BabyGloss. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223415 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:49:53 +0000 QueensBee 1223415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish our mornings weren't so rushed and that I had some time to linger and play with LO, but other than that I happy to drop him off at daycare and get to work. I think it's good for both of us! However, I can pick him up by 4pm so I know we'll have a few good hours of playtime in the afternoon which is perfect. It would be a lot harder if I worked longer hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223409 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:47:42 +0000 shinymama 1223409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have a cold heart too because come Monday I look forward to going to work so I can relax! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223404 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:45:18 +0000 babypugs 1223404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww. I am still on maternity leave and while I love spending time with lo, I am starting to really miss my work and co-workers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223394 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:43:35 +0000 looch 1223394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yes, tell me about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223390 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:42:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1223390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: OMG! Me too! I love spending time with them on the weekend but come Monday I love having "adult" time at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223378 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:38:01 +0000 mrbee 1223378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: maybe, or maybe I just have a cold heart!! I truly love the kids, but they also drain me of all life energy sometimes!! Hope things get better with your family soon!!</p> <p>@looch: high five! For me, it's a combination of the activities and also, the whining/naughtiness!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223365 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:33:16 +0000 looch 1223365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same as Mr. Bee! I am so pooped after the weekend's activities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223361 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:32:09 +0000 cmomma17 1223361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette: awww, I bet R would have loved that kind of sleep! I hate leaving C when it's time for him to go down for a nap<br /> @bookish: :( </p> <p>@mrbee: lol! :) Well you have 2, maybe that's different? </p> <p>I think I'm extra sad today because I'm going through some drama with my family and my mom is watching LO today so it was all awkward when she came over this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223339 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:25:03 +0000 mrbee 1223339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite! I love spending all weekend with the kids... but by Monday, I'm glad to drop them off at school/daycare!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223336 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:24:06 +0000 Bookish 1223336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. I hate Mondays more than ever because I have to leave her happy little face :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/it-gets-harder-not-easier#post-1223331 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:23:21 +0000 Smurfette 1223331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto!! Monday's are always so hard. Today is even harder cause I wish that I could have just held her to let her get sleep. </p>
