To be really sad my daughter is going back to school tomorrow?

[lynkat]

I'm in Scotland and the kids are going back to school tomorrow (some started last week). My daughter is due back tomorrow and I am feeling so sad about it.

I graduated this summer but am starting my masters next month and during the summer I've been working part time and then just enjoying the rest of the time with my daughter. It has been amazing and we have made so many memories and had so much fun. It's been so nice not having to track the days and live life to such a specific routine.

Tonight I'm feeling really upset as it's the end of that and the start of the chaos again, school, after school clubs, uni, placements, work, cold weather. We have next summer as it's a 2 year masters but that seems like so far away.

I see all these posts on Facebook about people excited to send their kids back to school and I just feel proper gutted.

Anyone else feeling the same way about the end of summer?

My dd is 10 and I feel the same as you,She doesnt start school til 8th of September so we have a little more time but this year has been brilliant.We have had a lovely summer together and i simply do not want it to end. I have treasured our time together and I will be sorry when school starts again I totally understand how you feel.

My 2 are 16 and 14 now but even when they were younger and the holidays needed planning like a military operation around work, I’ve always been a bit sad at the end of the 6 ish weeks.

Yes. Mine are 8 and 10 and we are on holiday just now. I love them so much and we always have a great summer. Not looking forward to them going back to school and the usual crazy busy routines of sports clubs, school, work etc.. taking over our fun times.

Gonna miss them!

YANBU - I will miss mine so much 😥This intense time together has been very special to me
