To not get emotional at end of school stuff?

I have nc for this.

I did not get emotional at the start of when dc started at primary school. Nor am I emotional when they leave. Currently youngest dd is leaving primary school and with both dc, I didnt feel much at their respective leavers assemblies.

Other parents, have said, in their own words, that they are "a wreck".

Oldest dd started secondary school a couple of years ago, and I just focused on the practical side of things.

Is there something not exactly right? I think I am the only one amongst my friends- other school mums- who is like this.

I don't. I don't get emotional at all really. Only if something really bad happens.
