reality hit - Real Mum story on MoM

20 Comments

I had a bit of a tear today, I took my sons 5 year olds ( and oldest childs ) enrolment papers to his school for next year to them to day and the office lady said “well congratulations you are excepted in to the school”. It was lovley till it hit me in the face my little baby is of to school and no longer a little kid anymore. where has that time gone?
I am looking forward to a new chapter but a little sad at the same time. Just makes me think how little time we have before they grow up and wont need me anymore.

we have now started transition and he is off now shyness (I am glade but it makes me sad he dose not need me) he is just off. not sure if these sessions are for him to get use to school or for me to get use to him being at school.

I think the same. I got a call from the school saying your daughter has been accepted. A little tear & I still don’t know how I’m going to let go

it’s a joy to watch them grow but sad at the same time. I have some that left home years ago and I still miss them not being here in the house.

I know how you feel i did the same with my youngest he will be starting school in January he will only be 4 years 9 months because of the new cut off dates in South Australia.
Its such a scary thing and will be so weird as i wont have any little people with me during the day now.

I think all Mums shed tears when their babies start school and really it is harder on poor Mum than the child. It will all be fine

I got my son’s enrolment letter too with all the details of information night & school uniform fittings. I can’t believe my little man will be going to school next year

I tear up a little when my little one goes to day care as she waves goodbye and blows me kisses. Soon she won’t need to hold my hand

  My boy is growing up way too quickly. He will almost be up to my shoulder soon. It is a joyful yet sad moment when they start school. I’m facing the prospect of high school in 3 and a bit years and the thought terrifies me.
