I think I am.....or maybe I am not....oh i dunno

DS1 started secondary yesterday. He wants me to let him come home alone tomorrow.....I am scared shitless (putting it bluntly) he has only ever travelled alone once before!

Mornings are sorted....one of the teachers travels on the same bus and she has said she will watch out for him in the mornings.

I want him to stay my babyyyyyyyyyyy

Chook whilst I can see where you are coming from I dont agree with you - which is the point of the AIBU threads. I think the Mums on here who think that the OP is not being unreasonable have 'gone through' traumatic events and that always 'colours' our decisions. I would love my DS4 to be ultra confident and popular etc etc but it wouldnt stop me being nervous and worried about him. I have buried two of my four sons and that fear will live with me until I die. Its a scary world.

I would love to have not experienced bereavement but Im working 'through' it and we are 'getting there' wherever the hell 'there is'.

oops sorry TLE - I hate it when people post having not read the whole thread and I've just done it myself

shabba - I do agree that our own expereinces colour our decisions about our own kids and I have had some very bad experiences in my life which have made me determined that my kids won't carry my insecurities.

Not saying that my way is any better than anyone elses, just my pov

No problem my friend. We all have our opinions and thats the good part of MN - I love a debate

I 'childmind' my only grandchild - another sweet little lad (15 months old) God help him when he gets to school - his Gran will be parked at the gates hitting folk who hurt him with her zimmer frame

Oh Shabba, two of your sons died.

how are you and d.s today??

TheSun, we are fine, I just called him to remind him which bus to get on lol.

I spoke to school earlier and they are trying to identify the shits kids who hit him and they are going to be expelled.

aww bless him, no doubt he will get the hang of it soon.
oh thats good news, dont hide that you are angry i dont blame you at all, we are all here if you need to vent.

atm i am giggling ds2 has got himself dressed in shoes pj top and a nappy and now saying bye bye mama
