DS broke my heart yesterday

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I have been afraid of this happening since we put DS in daycare when he was 3 months old. Yesterday when I picked him up he didn't want me and cried for his teacher. When I picked him up he turned to her, put his little arms out, and screamed.

I know he is just going through separation anxiety and didn't know what he was doing but it still hurt. Crying

    OMG I would have died!!!  I fear DS will start liking FIL more than me (he watches him during the week).  So far he still wants me...but I know the day will come eventually.

    Sorry!

    Ouch that hurts...DD has been at DC since 6 weeks and she sometimes gets mad when I come get her not because she wants her teachers, but because she wants to PLAY.

    Oh my gosh, I would have cried so hard.  I'm very afraid of this, it's on my mind a lot lately.  Even though we know what it's all about, it's really hard to not take it personally.  Hugs to you!

    Awe, that does hurt.  Look at it this way, he is being well taken care of and likes his teachers.  You will always be mommy!

    I know it's rough, but try to remember that its great that LO likes his teacher and daycare so much. We go through this sometimes with DD too since my parents watch her full time. Usually in the morning when I drop her off, she's clinging to me and doesn't want to go to my mom and in the afternoons, she's clinging to my mom and doesn't want to go with me. I think usually she is just content/happy and doesn't want the change, since I know she obviously loves both me and grandma.

    Thanks ladies. I know it's great he loves his teacher and he could have just been resistant to the switch from his teacher to me but it still sucks. It was definitely one of those I-hate-being-a-working-mom-moments.

    me too. dd does this with the nanny, mil and dh. but not me. It makes me sad. but i just think of it as she knows i am coming back soon and that's why she does not get upset. She can always count on mommy to be close by.
