[quote=Anonymous]Humm... so when mine goes to K. I am done with parenting.  I don't have to be home when she is sick, parent-teacher conferences, be home before and after school, cook, clean, and all that other "parenting" stuff.  I can say, hey, you are in K. so you don't need me anymore.  Time for the mani & ped's daily along with yoga and acupuncture.  Just fend for yourself as you are fine.  Seriously?

I am a SAHM.  My child goes to preschool a few days a week for a few hours.  I want her to start at 5 as there are very few academic preschools and by the time she hits 5, it makes no sense to repeat her another year in the same class that has little academic focus and what it has she surpassed a year before.  (we spend a reasonable amount of time supplementing at home).  It is not about being selfish.  If it were selfish, I'd keep her home with me as I love every minute and you cannot get the early years back.  Funny, how you can look at it as selfish and being cheap (preschool costs).  If there were better preschool options available, I'd be more comfortable holding her back, but at this point academically it makes no sense.  You go to school to learn.

She was two weeks late.  Otherwise she would have made the 9/1 cut off for MCPS.  [/quote]
