Glasgow sarts next week.

Dh is looking forward to ds going back, as ds has been getting really cheeky! Talking to other parents of 5/6 year olds, they're all the same: they're needing the structure of school.

Yeah and I have a problem with this. I was talking to a fellow MNer yesterday - our DDs are starting school on Monday and Im not sure how I feel about that - I think its more a completely selfish thing on my part cause I want her to be a baby again. Does anybody else feel like this?

saadia · 15/08/2006 10:05

Liesel I'm like you. Ds1 starts Reception in September and I'm quite sad about it. I really enjoy the hols - not having to wake up early and stick to rigid timings.

scotlou · 15/08/2006 10:13

My ds went back today too - but I feel it's too soon. It's still summer. Mind you - i work full time so my mum and kids club bear the brunt of the care over the holidays! I'd maybe feel differently if I was a SAHM.

prettybird · 15/08/2006 10:16

Ds started last year. I sort of know hwat you mean as I was a bit sniffy as he went into school for the first time. I took a day off work and dh and I walked him to school together.

But maybe it was slightly easier as he'd been in full time "care" (childminder initially and then a year of combining childminder with nursery) since he was 4 months old, when I went back to work full time.

But even though he is going in to P2 next week, he is still my lovable wee boy.

MrsSpoon · 15/08/2006 10:23

Next week for us too, DS1 going into P3 and DS2 into his preschool nursery year. They are needing to go back but I am not really looking forward to it, I hate the routine.
