MMO for Nate = failure
Which I knew it was going to happen. Everytime we would go to church they would call us out. So I dropped him off this morning and he got spaghetti legs when it was time to go in. He immediately started crying which I knew would happen and then the tears started rolling down my face. Since I have been getting no sleep and in so much pain I can pretty much cry at anything these days. So before he started to see me cry I ran out of there. Got to the car and sobbed on the phone with DH and he was cool. Then went to the grocery store and barley made it out of there due to my hip pain. Called them when I got home and they said he hasn't had a very good morning and to pick him up an hour early. I started bawling when I hung up. So I met the teacher in the hall and she said he cried for 2 hours straight. Once they started lunch he stopped and explored instead of eating. Then they went to music class and he cried for a little bit then started to participate.
When I went to go get him he was playing and when he saw me he started crying again. His little eyes were so red. He looks so exhausted.
In the middle of my 2nd cry my MIL called. She thought I was being ridiculous crying. I finally snapped back at her and said "I am not sleeping well and I am in a lot of pain today. I am not myself and really emotional". After that she stepped off. Tired of her comments! They are constant!
Yes I know it will get better with time. He needs this as much as I do. Just hard leaving your child with a bunch of strangers and you know he is so upset.

Re: MMO for Nate = failure
(hugs) I went through this at daycare a few months ago. She would stop walking when she saw the teachers and I would have to carry her in the room. Then when I put her down she would cry and want me to pick her up. The teachers wanted me to just leave her and run out. I on the other hand wanted to stay in the room and try to soothe her and let her know it was okay. After a few more times of the same routine, she got better and understood that she needed to be there for awhile and I would be back. Trust me, it was really hard for me to see my child cry and not be able to do anything about it.
Now, when I come to get her, she jumps up from her chair or wherever she is at and goes to get her bag. lol. I'm sorry your going through this but hopefully it will get better.
awww, Kim, I'm so sorry. I know its not easy. Hugs. I hope the next day at MMO is much better. It'll get easier for him.
Yep it is hard...thank goodnes SC never was a crier at preschool....there are 2 girls in my class that still occasionally have issues and apparently had a hard time at the beginning of the year. The other class had 2 boys who took a while, but now are happy as larks. They will do their best to keep him calm and he is safe adn you know he will adjust. I know its hard and the hormones are not helping! Glad you spoke up to MIL, geesh lady.
Anyhoo, hugs to you today.
Aw, I'm so sorry he struggled! Jack did, too...I was 9 months pregnant when he started preschool at 18 months old, and Ethan was born two weeks later. Jack cried every day at drop off for about a month, it was SO hard to walk out of there knowing he was upset. And even when I would get there and peek in on him and he was playing happily, he would burst into tears as soon as he saw me (that actually went on even longer than him being upset at dropoff). It's just such a huge adjustment to wrap their little heads around, but he will probably grow to love it!
Glad you stuck up to MIL, geez! It WILL get better
