Hi All!
Just wondering if when you pick up your baby from daycare, do they cry when you get there to pick them up? Wesley started daycare about 2 weeks ago full-time and he loves it, he goes to the teachers in the morning, with no problem, he is fine when I call and check-in on him, he is smiling and laughing and playing when I look in the window before going into the room to pick him up but when he sees me he starts crying. He stops about 5 minutes later after I have picked him up and held him for a bit. I think he is crying because he missed me and is happy to see me, but it still makes me sad. When does this stop? or does it never stop?
Re: Day care moms
lately no but he used to.
He def cries if he sees me and then I disappear
I think they forget about you and when they see you they remember they missed you?
I think your right about them being wired differently. I cried every day on my way to work the first week after dropping him off at daycare and my husband would call me everyday and asked if I cried after drop off today. he just doesn't get it. I still get the phone call every morning from him, and we have been using daycare for about 2 weeks now. I'm hoping my son is not like that one day but I'm sure he will be.
J never cries at drop off or pickup (YET I suppose), but she has started reaching for our DCP in the mornings and that makes me feel bad, lol.
I am like a man though in that other than the first day I dropped her off, I have never cried about J at work. Pumping is the main time I think about her unless she was being extra cute that morning.
Ds gets mad sometimes when I pick him up and it's because he's having fun and legitimately doesn't want to leave. It hurts sometimes but really, i am glad he's happy while I'm away!
