The end of care-free life...

Posted by GGrass , Reader : 203 , 14:26:07

Today is the last day my first son SEY is living his care-free life of a child. Tomorrow he will institutionalized and go to school (Pre-kindergarden really...) for the first time in his life, and he'll continue to be institutionalized for another 15 or so years. Then he'll be institutionalized in a college for another 4 years and after that, he might be further institutionalized for master's degree or even higher, depending on his wish. I feel sort of sad, although I shouldn't be. I'm putting him in the hands of teachers and school system for a good portion of his life, and in a sense, I feel I'm losing him. And I don't want to let him go... I know it's silly of me to feel sad about all this, but I can't help it. They say a lot of children cry on their first day of school. But I think SEY will actually laugh his way to classroom, and I'll be the one who's left crying... :-( God... give me the strength to fight the tears coz it'll be REALLY embarrasing.

P veen: Gr. 3 is a bit too much!

Today was the second day... he's getting better.

He played at the playground before entering the classroom. I noticed, ALL the kids play well at the playground, but they ALL scream at the door of the classroom. It was cute to watch little kids crying and hanging on to their moms and dads... I pushed him in the classroom and quickly closed the door.

Wait until his wisdom teeth grow up then he will change into a child not baby anymore.. The day that friends and school is more important than parent.

Well done, GG.

My little one cried a lot too and not only the first day. it took time. A best friend of mine who is very nice person used to tell me she cried until she was in grade 3. Can you believe that??

After they break the ice, school will be fun. Sey will love it sooner or longer.

P veen: I should have left soon, but I just couldn't... I was hiding behind the window and peeking into the room... the room was FULL of kids, crying for their mommies and daddies... my son was crying for 1 full hour!!

I wasn't worried though... there were about 10 teachers in the room, and only about 20 kids... so they were well taken care of. The school said this is normal for the first day, so they put extra teachers in Pre Kindergarden room.

And I'm proud to say, I didn't cry a bit.

Induspundit: Ok. Let's press the 'refresh' button and get a new start.

I'm GG. I like your writing, although it's only 20% understandable to me. I'm not blaming your writing, but I'm blaming myself for falling asleep in English class during high school.

You wrote a story about PUNE. I wrote a story about PUNE too... wanna see?

Now your are being constructive and more appreciative to me. Perhaps we can leave this behind and move forward for a rather constrcutive environment. I am certainly not a good writer, however, i really treasure the feedback i receive from people, though. I look forward to hearing from you.
For Manhunt .. it seems you owe an apology for calling someone who u dont name.. i could call the worse but i wouldn't do that as people who can write their feelings or tell stories are,to me, are thoughtful and civilised people. The day when we all arrive to ur( Manhunt), fortunately not all have arrived, to pick ur line we are going to be in a doomed place. I last utimatum is " please mind your tongue sir or madam." I hope you would oblige yourself to this if u r a person who upholds dingnity.

When you send him, just drop him off and leave as fast as you can. That's the trick. If you wanna cry, do it behind his back

He'll be okay. Tell Sey, aunty Veen wish him a nice day at school.

The crudity in your supposedly humorous remarks represent the prevailent culture which goes up to the premier of this country. I would not share a sacastic joke with a stranger, however, this understanding in question has always been taken for granted in most cliquish set up. Much to my disappointment ,I am certainly baffled your slang words, something i was not expecting. Take it easy son, I am certain that you spent times thinking on what appear so gibberish to me or to a man in his 20s, which you intended to appear as intellectual ejaculation, if you allow me.
Keep it up son.

Many parents cannot wait for this day to dump their kids to school to enjoy their freedom again. Hooray!
I think your son was a cutie and not monster, so you love him dearly.
Take it easy as he will be enjoying his school, making new friends and get independent fast. He can take care of mummy when Papa goes to Nigeria again. LOL
