I completely agree with you.

Busted. You totally just agreed with yourself.

Ah, your so smart. You think because two different people share the same opinion, that it must be the same post. Wrong. Your wrong. I don't know who posted above, but I agree with what she is saying. So your busted for being immature.

Fair enough. Can I bust you back for not having a sense of humor though?

Wow. OP here. Thank you to the first several posters. I felt so much better reading your posts. And my child had a good day today, so I'm feeling much better! Thank you!

As for the "get a grip" poster, I am amazed that you would attack moms who are a little nervous about sending their children out into the big world for the first time at the age of THREE. This is a huge milestone in children's lives. Couldn't you find a better use of your time? Couldn't you find a thread you liked and posted something useful or nice? Did it make you feel better to make fun of other moms and start fights on this thread?

A sense of humor is one thing, but you didn't tell a very funny joke.

OP, if it helps any, I got to drop my daughter off today in her classroom, she's my second child, and she atteneds a school I absolutely and completely and madly love. Yet, I was the one who needed the - oh, call it 10 or 15 - extra hugs, kisses and tries at goodbye. I didn't cry, but I am sure the teachers were ready to kick me out! DD was totally fine and cool with it. It was Mommy who had the separation anxiety!

It will get better; I promise.

OP, I have yet to go through what you went through as my son is only 1.5 yrs old, however I feel for you and can only imagine how hard it must be. I'm not looking forward to it!(Though I do know how valuable it is to the child.)
I know I'll be crying on the way home from pre-school drop off!

I agree too, I must say I laughed at the OPs dramatic posting. No, I was not in tears, my son is sensitive, but was more than thrilled to meet other children. Maybe I've just worked hard to socialize him properly.dunno.

OP, many wonderful, warm, compassionate mothers feel emotional when their little toddlers begin their first day of preschool. It's the natural dance of holding on and letting go as a parent. Although we believe the school experience will benefit them, to see their faces, tears, and anxieties about being in a place with strangers is challenging for many of us. Contrary to PP, I dont think parents can get all the credit for how well their preschooler transition. Temperment, personality, age, vibe of the teacher and school, child's history of being in altenerate care, and several factors contribute to how and why some kids transition better than others. Best of luck to you. I'e experienced both profound joy and sadness at different times in my son's preschool career.

Depends, I tend to believe that alot of a child's personality is developed with traits that parents instill in them. For instance, a child that is used to whining all the time probably has that whine catered to quite alot, if a child is around mom 24 hours a day, than going to school in the beginning might be tough, because of parental attachment. If they don't do alot of group activities already, it might be a shock to system to go to preschool. To the Op, it will get easier and easier for you.

Not the PP but I think she may be referring to "you're" when using the posessive (e.g, you're wrong). Back to the original thread anyway!

And to the OP, hope today went better for you!

Are you the same poster on many threads that is always trying to correct everyone's spelling. Personally, I just try to see the point the person is making and go with that. You spend so much time trying to be the grammar police. Maybe your an English teacher, but I'm sure their are things in your life we can nitpick at, it's just not worth it to us.

Sorry, but I'm not your gal. That's the first time I've ever corrected anyone on this site, but I'll let you know if I bump into this police! I do find it interesting you refer to your statement as "us" though. Are you really speaking for all of DCUM?

Ah, I just realized that your probably trying to pull me in. I'm sure it's the only time you've corrected someone, whatever. Their are certain people that probably only get off on the negative threads(annoying moms)etc. I would bet my right arm that you are one of those people. You try to coax people in to your mundane life. Remember, this is just an opinion. When you correct someone even once, it's almost like your trying to demonstrate superiority or something. You said you have done it once, that's a lie, I'm sure.
