Elementary School Kids
then getting dressed he had a flip out because he already had an under shirt on so "why did I give him another one?" so I had to explain the one he was wearing was dirty then he asked if I made him a lunch I said yes and he started crying his eyes out because he wanted to buy today!!! I told him he can buy tomorrow and I said go brush your teeth he stomped to the bathroom and slammed the door
so we go out to the bus and I tell him I love him and he gave me his "mad face" and I said "no matter how mad you are you always tell your mommy you love her before you leave because you never know what could happen before you see her again!!" Which is the same thing my mom told me when I was young and he started crying and wouldn't let go of me.... We've had this talk before I truly believe its a bad omen to not say I love you. I know he'll be fine but seeing his sad little face in the bus window as he drove away broke my heart.
Damn is it 3:30 yet I want me baby

Do you think maybe he wasn't feeling good? My son was not happy about going back to school today after having 2 weeks off for Christmas break, but he definitely did not cry. If he would've cried, I probably would've thought maybe he was coming down with something.

I hate days like that. Hopefully he doesn't give his teacher a bad time! -
No he get emotional when he's over tired... I think Mondays are hardest of the little ones lol

Put him to bed early tonight and all will be right with the world tomorrow morning. You may want to consider moving his bedtime up permanently, the little ones (kindy - 2nd grade) really need 10-11 hours of sleep a night.
BTW - I would never force my child to tell me that they love me or even tell them that they don't know what will happen to me before they see me again. Why would you do that to your child who is already upset?

Aww I'm sorry momma! (hugs)

I didn't force him I just explained the importance of it.... DH left in a mood this morning too and called be right away to say sorry and that he loves me!! The truth is you never know what will happen and I make sure my family knows I love them

Those mornings are the worst. Last year when dd was in kindergarten, dd went to school crying one day and i felt so bad. I emailed her teacher to check on her and she said she was doing great, that as soon as she saw her friend she was all better. I felt much better knowing she wasn't still upset. -
Mornings are just like that sometimes. I made sure to put my daughter to bed last night at 7 (her normal bedtime is 7:30) because I didn't want issues this morning. We always say I love you and there was once where she was mad and didn't want to tell me I love you and I gave a similar speech. I don't think you did anything wrong, except be a mom and give a teachable moment.

No, you don't ever know what will happen. Unfortunately, you now have a little kid who is fearful that something is going to happen to his mom while he is at school. That can really backfire on you and cause serious issues to the point that he will not leave you for any reason. Do you really want that? Also remember that there is a huge mentality difference between your husband and your son, or at least I hope that there is. Your husband understands what you mean about 'you never know what will happen', but a 5 year old doesn't.

Mine cried all the way to school this morning. He is in first grade. Mondays are the worst with him. He is a huge mama's boy and getting back into the routine after two weeks off threw him.
Hope you guys have a better day tomorrow.
