crying at d/c

Anyone else hate to leave their kids? DS has been crying in the mornings when I have to leave the sitters. :cry: This has been going on for about 2 weeks. I know it is just a phase he is going through and he is fine w/in about 3 seconds after I leave, but it still breaks my heart. I wish there was a way I could be a sahm. But God hasn't called me to do that yet, so I cope w/it the best I can. My older ds went through the same thing, so I know it will pass. Just needed to get that off my chest.

There's nothing worse than hearing your kids cry and feeling like it's your fault! You have no choice and you know if your heart that they'll be fine, but it doesn't mean you don't still hoop it up all the way to wherever your going and count the seconds until you see them again! Hang in there and love him all the extra when you're with him!

I went through this with Autumn last year in pre-k. She did fine the first week of school and then after that would cry each morning for a few minutes. She did that for a couple of months and then was just fine. She would say she loved pre-k but missed mommy. It broke my heart! I pray she doesn't start it again when kindergarten starts in a couple of weeks. Stephanie :D

There is turely nothing worse than leaving our sweet little baby behind and head off to work...it's a heart breaker to see them like that, but they usually do grow out of it. :wink:

It's hard. My dd went through that when I had her in d/c. The fact that he stops shortly after you leave is good. Just hang in there, this to shall pass.

OH my it is horrible, but it will pass. When I owned my consignment shop I would send my DS with a friend of mine for a couple hours during the week. He would cry so much I could hardly pull myself away. She told me he would stop by the time they pulled out of the driveway. It is still so hard.

My DD wasn't usually the one crying...She'd give me a wave a hug and a "cya Mommy! "

I'd be the one :cry: as I walked away

I know how you feel! I have my dd being taken care of at private sitters' homes and I still feel bad when I leave her there to go to work. Thankfully I just work seasonal so I will have the fall and winter with her full time. It is still hard to leave her though, lately she has been having a harder time with it than usual.

Oh it just breaks my heart! :cry: Ian is still crying. Though some mornings I can get his attention on something else and sneak out the door. This morning Gail (the sitter) took him into the kitchen to fix his bkfst and get him some milk so he didnt see me leave. But I feel like such a worm having to sneak out. Then when I pick him up, he just runs over to me and into my arms, so I guess that kinda makes up for the crying. Since we've been having this problem, I've really been trying to do extra stuff w/him at night and weekends, but I'm wondering if that's making the seperation worse... :?
