Hello , does anybody else here have a child starting?

my little girl starts school this year and i'm ok with it - i think! it will pull at my heart strings but she's ready for it. As for the extra time i will have i already work two days the other three will give me time to decorate the house. its long over due and impossible to do with a three year old at your heel!!

Aww bless it is hard when they first go to school and you feel really lonely and yes aside of the tidy house it can be quite hard to fill the days, what about a part time job that would fit in with term time?

my oldest starts school in September and i cant wait but house wont be empty as i have an 8 month old too why not try to get a part time job during school hours or volunteer for something

my youngest just started nursery 2 weeks ago full time.I find it awful so empty with no children in the house, she loves it though. I have always worked 2 days a week, but i will look for more hours now to keep myself occupied. Dont worry,youll son enjoy the peace.

my son starts in august as well, i am lucky i do a part time job just now when my son is at nursery, and i have 2 days off a week where i have mum and son time ie we go out for the day, so i am going to be lost on those days. you could look into going to college, getting a part time job, or just enjoy the peace and quite.

enjoy the peace and calm and take the time to have some me time,my daughter is almost 8 and when she started school 1st it was upsetting but she loved it,once i knew she was relaxed there i could,those 4 hours are precious make the most of them,get yor hair done have a facial anything,itll be the making of her and youll be more relaxed.ive to do it all over again in september with my son at playschool!!aaagh!!

Volunteer at her school a couple of times a week. If that's not enough try getting a job there as an aide, then you will have the same schedule as you little one.

yep my son kieran his birthday is 6th of September so he just missed out but goes this year i have a 2 year old and am pregnant with my third so him being away for a few hours will be bliss but i will miss him all the same will give him lots of attention when he gets back and he cannot wait to have dinner at school he says ( hes in for a shock)

Yes, My son starts Kindergarten in July (year round school), but we also have a 7 mth old Daughter so she will keep me occupied and i also am going to be very active in his school volunteering whenever they need me.. Also I will join the PTA.. I can't wait!! Nervous, but excited.. Good luck to you

my son starts in august as well, but the thing is that I work full time and that will be a relief for me ,the dad and the grandparents

You can start attending some classes get a part-time degree
