No More Preschool
Somedays being a parent is just plain hard. Today is one of those days for me. I pulled Breena out of preschool today & I've spent every second since questioning whether or not I made the right decision. Breena is really struggling with seperation anxiety since Toby came home. The first thing she told Dave & I when she woke up this morning was that she didn't want to go to preschool. When it was time to leave I asked her to put her shoes on & she fell apart crying. I decided then that it was not worth the anxiety for her. She has three years until she can start kindergarten & she can try preschool again next fall. When I called to tell her teacher that we were choosing to remove her from class her teacher assured me that Bree has a great time when she is there. I went with my gut & decided to pull her out anyway. I told Breena she wouldn't have to go back to preschool anymore and she started to cry hysterically. She's mad at me because she won't see her friends. I just can't make her happy. I'm so torn over this decision and I'm angry at myself for starting her in the first place at the same time we were expecting a new baby. It breaks my heart to watch her fall apart two morning a week; especially when I have the ability to change the situation. But I still question what is best for her. I'm guessing this is just the first of hundreds of decisions I'll second guess regarding my children. I wish they came with an owner's manual.
