My eldest has just started school, P1 (Scotland) She's 5.5, could of gone last year but she's a winter baby so decided to deffer. She was more than ready, seems to be enjoying it, no issues. I however am really feeling it, the emotional side of my baby starting school, probably doesn't help I've just stopped breastfeeding my youngest so feeling very much like my baby stage is suddenly over. The week feels totally different, I worked 3 days already, this hasn't changed so I technically have more free time because now have 2 days with only 1 child rather than 2 but it just feels a lot more structured and grown up 🙈 I know that sounds silly! I take my youngest to a class one morning which is nice being able to do something just with them but i feel bad doing other fun stuff while my eldest is at school. I'm keeping busy and feeling like I need to achieve lots in my days while she's at school and I'm at home and I miss her. God knows how I'll cope when my youngest starts or when they leave home!
Anyone else felt like this? I guess it will pass but I've been so excited about her starting school, did not expect to feel like this
