Surrendering your duties
Another sickening but common story of a mother missing the best years of her kids’ lives.
2 and graduating? What the hell are we doing to our kids?Nat’s just 2 but she’s already “graduated” from the junior to the senior room at daycare.
This room is where both Nat and her older brother Will, 4, entered society as independent beings. And it’s where Mom had to let go. The teachers here held Nat and Will as they cried when they adjusted to Mom returning to work.
It’s where Nat and Will learned how to sit in a circle, how to stand in a line, be respectful of others (no biting and hitting) and how to dance.
This is where the kids will learn the skills that mommies are supposed to teach their kids.
I love how she glosses over the crying as Mom returns to work.
