5 Emotions – My Baby’s Starting School
This September my youngest of my 5 children starts Big School. So I thought I would share the 5 emotions I have been feeling lately about her starting in reception.
When she was born, I remember saying that 2017 would be a big year. My eldest has just taken her GCSEs, awaiting results and will be off to college. My second daughter is off to secondary school and then A starts primary school to join her 2 siblings. So even though it is the start of something new for her it is the end of a long stage (16 years) of having at least one pre-schooler. I have felt every single emotion possible recently.

- Sadness – Having 5 children it would be very obvious for anyone to guess that I love babies so much. The warm and fuzzy feeling when you bring a brand new baby home from hospital can’t be beaten. Knowing that a newborn is totally dependent on you for feeds, nappy changes and being rocked to sleep. When I decided to have A it was to bring light after the sadness of my Daddy’s (the kids Grandpa’s) death. But as time went on the sadness of him never meeting her was tough and days like her first day of school that he isn’t there for are difficult too. She has grown so fast and the last 4 years have seemed to go quicker than with her older siblings, so I get sad that I have blinked and missed it. Now she will be finding her own path without me to oversee what’s going on.
- Excitement – Once all my kids have started school they have changed from the word go, so I am very excited to see her flourish. And find her feet on her own at school, see the new friendships she builds.
- Regret – I didn’t spend enough time with her in the last 4 years. Having been the only one financially providing for the kids for the last 5 years, I have had no other option than to work. I had a little bit of cover for the first few months of A’s life. But being my own boss running my business, I was never able to turn off to what’s going on. So I have been guilty of feeding her whilst replying to emails. Plonking her in front of cbeebies whilst I market my next event. Not noting down when she got to milestones, as I was so busy dividing myself in 5 or 7 if you include the house and work!!!
- Proud – I am so proud that A is ready for school and become a confident little girl. I have solo parented the kids for the majority of A’s little life so a little pat on the back that I have managed this far.
- Happiness – As I am ready for a new chapter in my book too. I have been running my business around having a pre-schoolers at home for the last 7 years. So I will hopefully have more time to devote to building my business. As kids only get more expensive as they get older, so I need to fund them. Plus as selfish as it seems I am looking forward to having some time to myself. You might even find me at the gym, well when I have finished that chocolate bar!!!
Phew now that is off my chest, I feel kind of ready, but know that there will be some tears. Pop over to my Instagram account and prepare yourself for 1st Day at School Spam.

Lovely post – mine isn’t yet 2 so have all this to come- already dreading her moving into the next group at nursery, never mind big school!!#blogstravaganza
You still have a little one, enjoy these preschool years x
Oh I am sure there are so many mums and dads that can relate to this right now. I’m not at this stage yet – but I am sure I will feel exactly the same things x
Ah milestones! They grow up too fast! xx
Don’t they just x
This is lovely. There are a lot of emotions around school for me, but I’ve got a year to wait yet
Thank you, enjoy your preschool year x
You should be so proud. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Recharge you own batteries, then you can do more for them! x
Thanks, yes I am looking forward to a bit of peace x
Ah, it’s such a mix of emotions isn’t it? My youngest starts in another couple of years, not sure how I’ll feel when he’s joined his big brothers and they’re all at school!
Don’t think about it too much yet and just enjoy him x
My daughter starts school in September so I can identify with all of these!
I hope your daughter settles in well x
Our fifth and final baby is 3 months old and I worry I am not making the most of my time with her and with my other children. I know I am living our last firsts right now but I am excited about our future. A lovely post x
The last first are bitter sweet, thanks for reading x
Many thanks! Ample facts!
