My daughter starts preschool tomorrow, and ...DA - <br /><br />My daughter starts preschool tomorrow, and I'll probably be a little misty-eyed watching her in the classroom. In order to make the transition easier for both the parent and the child, our school allows the parent to stay in the classroom with the child the first day. One can only guess who this benefits more. *Wink*<br /><br />I do enjoy the time with my children, as well as the time away. Alone time makes together time that much more rewarding, and vice-versa. And I feel very good about my parenting knowing that my child doesn't have any hangups about school - and you should, too! The thing that really made my heart swell was when grandma asked her about her first day of school and my daughter replied, "My dad is taking me, 'cause he's the best." <br /><br />You're doing alright, DA, and I'm sorry that you don't have a mom to share your stories with. We're (you're blog readers) not an equal surrogate by any means, but I'm glad that you have us to share with. We are a community in a way, and I know I'm glad to have you all sharing in my life right now.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672184172836328706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079681358332005341.post-79996387810721749672010-09-08T10:10:39.692-04:002010-09-08T10:10:39.692-04:00DA, I feel your sorrow.
When we dropped my daug...DA, I feel your sorrow. <br /><br />When we dropped my daughter off to college I cried all the way home. I had zero support from my NM. In fact, I didn't even really talk to her about it because I knew I would get no empathy or support. After all, she was HAPPY when my sister and I left home. No big deal. I was blessed to have my mother-in-law to talk to. She understood and talked about how she felt during that time and gave me lots of validation and support. <br />My mother-in-law passed away 1 1/2 years ago. I sure miss her. <br />Know that you have the love and support from all your SIS's out here. I know it's not the same as having a supportive, loving mom. That is the void we live with. You are not alone.<br />Hugs!Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371601869204844111noreply@blogger.com
