1st day of daycare - I can't stop crying!

[Hammy]

Connor started daycare today and I can't stop crying! Please tell me I am not the only one that was like this their childs first day. I felt like such an idiot crying so hard while I was there but I just could not stop myself! I am sure that I will call a million times today to see how he is doing.

Oh, believe me! You are not the only one. I think I posted the same thing when Rebekah started daycare in March. And since she was 2 by then, she screamed and clung to me. It was horrible but I managed to make it to my car before I broke down. And I think I cried all day that day. I called them around 2pm that day and they said she was doing great and she was taking her nap so that made me feel better.

She cried the first 4 days I took her (she only goes Tues and Thurs) and on the 5th day she didn't cry at all. She hasn't cried since then and she loves it there.

Connor will do fine. He'll adjust so fast since he's still little. They'll take good care of him. You'll probably cry more than he will all day!

I didn't cry until after I left. He was fine the first day so I just smiled and was brave for him, then I burst out in the hallway. It gets easier though and it's most definitely harder on us than it is on them!

It is so hard to drop them off at daycare!! I think most parents are upset especially when they cry!! :bighug: It does get easier with time.


Hang in there!

Well the day is over and I survived! :lol: I called twice to check on him and he had a fantastic day. They played and read and he was a happy boy. The little cutie. Thanks for all the support. It is nice to know that I am not the only one that had a hard time.

I think that it took me a week to stop feeling guilty about leaving her with someone other than me. She also didn't make it easy as she cried every morning but as soon as I was out of sight, stopped.

I cried also! I actually put her in 2 days before I had to go back to work so that I could get all the tears out and not be bawling at work.

So I cried my eyes out also!

Glad your doing well now!

[Hammy]

YeahI am doing alright. I still feel bad dropping him off and there are some things that bother me about the place a little but I am trying to relax and lean that nobody is going to take care of Connor the way that I do.

To be honest I still cry most days after I drop Nick off. Its really hard for me to do!!! I really want to be a SAHM, I just hate that someone else is taking care of him.
