Kids are getting ready to head back to school and it's bitter sweet.

I have 4 children, They range in age from 16 to 5 years. Since the oldest I can't remember ever having the day to myself while they are in school. Now it is time for school to go back in session and my baby will start kindergarten. I knew this day was coming, however when I think about it I get sad. I left a office job of 15 years to work at home and stay with the youngest before she started school, it made me realize how much I missed out on with the other children and I have regrets. As the school bells get closer and closer to ringing I feel a slight pain in my heart. Has anyone else ever gone through this?

It is perfectly normal for you to feel as though you're going to miss your children when they go back to school, but you know how quickly the time goes and before you know it, it is going to be the time for the next holiday to come along. You must get tired of having to find things to entertain your children every day of the holiday as well, so you might find that you are able to get a bit of a break to spend some time on your own when they're back from school. It is only a couple of hours each day, and there is plenty of time for you to spend together at the end of the day and the weekend.

That is really great and good to hear since their mindset has changed considerably and with great desperation they are going back and want to beat boredom by catching up with their friends.this is the best way ,leave it to them and they will realise that school is quite important for them and they will start loving it at any time.
I really like their attitude and you must be feeling good and with so much care.
Wonderful behaviours must be shared for all
