Hormones or just a freak?

L L CG

I feel like I'll cry at any moment on Monday mornings.  Today is particularly hard.  I hate leaving A at daycare and knowing that its for the next few days I'll only see her 2-3 hours tops before the next weekend.    Is this just hormones?  (I think I want you to say yes... because otherwise I'm just a freak, right?)

*hugs* I bet that's how most mama's feel when the drop their little ones off a day care. I'm sure "it'll get easier" at some point.

I don't think you are a freak.

Your not a freak, it can take a year for your hormones to chill. I cried alot last month, I blame pms!! Hang in there, it will get better!! ((hugs))

Not a freak!  When my DD was your DD's age, I was still crying often after drop off. While I don't cry anymore, it's still very hard for me to leave DD, and just like you it's hardest on Monday.  Big hugs to you!!!

You're not a freak. It sucks. A few Mondays ago Gracie followed me out the door at my mom's house screaming "Mooooom, nooooo" she caught up to me and grabbed on to my pants really hard. I had to pry her off and give her to my mom while she was kicking and screaming. I do NOT cry for much but I had a little mouth quivering going on that morning as I drove away.

I think Monday is especially hard on everyone since we just had all that quality time together over the weekend. Sorry ((hugs)) working is really hard sometimes.

That's why I don't do drop-off's. I hate daycare. D is in a really clingy phase now too. Every now and then when I DO drop her off she cries, I leave, then I cry in the car. This is one year in... Wish I could say it gets easier but it hasn't for me. That said, I'm in charge of the afternoon pick-up and it has become the highlight of my day. The second she spots me she holds out her arms and squeals. Makes the day totally worth it.

Gah, me too.  Thank goodness DH does dropoffs most days.  I can't handle it.  4:30 is the best part of my day, but yes, it totally sucks to only have a few hours a day with her.  It's depressing.

LL- it seems like your reaction is pretty common. But, here's my two cents for any moms who are reading this thread and feeling guilty for not having a rough time Monday mornings.

My husband was in his last year of law school during the first year of my younger DD's life, which meant that I was often solo with the girls for much of the weekend while he studied.

So, did I cry Monday mornings? Nope. I love my girls more than anything, but it was really nice to get a break.

Edited- double post.

If you are a freak then I am too.  I felt the same way dropping DD off this morning.  Plus recently she has started to cry when I leave, just breaks my heart!

LOL.  Mondays were never very hard for me, either.  Or any day.  Even when Jakob would cry at drop-off, I would sit in my car for a couple minutes and feel sorry for myself.  But it was forgotten by the time I hit the freeway with the windows down and the radio blaring.  I knew he had forgotten all about me by that point, too
