Anyone else feel very sad when the end of the summer term approaches

[arabella2]

Hi, I've got 3 dc who are in nursery, year 1 and year 3 at the moment. As usual as the end of year approaches I start to feel very sad to the point that I spend the last week of term with a constant pain in my belly. Sad about them having different teachers next year mainly I suppose... I don't like most "endings" in general so I suppose that is part of it. In addition this year will be the last year that I have any child in nursery and the staff there are lovely - it is hard to feel as involved with what is going on in the other years as you spend much less time (in reception) and then no time (from year 1 onwards) in the classroom. Anyone else relate to feeling sad and nostalgic in advance....
Then

Oh I was a blubbering wreck on my DD's last day at nursery.. Can't imagine how bad I'll be when we finish up there (DS) next year..

Welling up just thinking about it..

But I am a terrible softy..

I too feel quite sad. DD1 has had her teacher for the last 2 years and I help out each Friday morning. The teacher said to me today she would miss them and I nearly wept!!

I will also miss the routine and the playground chit chat

My DD leaves her lovely nursery to start recption in September. I am feeling horribly sentimenatal right now. Me and her little brother are going to miss her terribly in September. I am looking forward to the October half term already! Sob sob.

Nope, feel really excited about an impending summer holiday.

Then I realise that I'm not at school and therefore will have to do some work over the hols.

However, do feel sad about changes of teacher etc.,

I thought you meant sad at having to have your children home for the summer holidays !
