Eager to Leave Mommy
Today was a moms dream day. A day without the child(ren). In my case, child. My sister and bro in law picked up my daughter and their other niece, and took them to the zoo and then back to their house to watch Tangled and make tiaras and cupcakes (They are so creative and fun).
When I got the call that it was in fact happening, I was happy. I looked forward to doing things I normally can't do. Then I broke the news to my daughter. I knew she would be so excited to spend a day at the zoo with her Aunt nie nie and friend Natalie. Uh, yeah... After telling her what the plan was for the day, one of her questions was....
"You staying here, mommy?"
"Yes, mommy will stay here".
*stares... smiles... jumps down from seat and is eager to go*.
Uh, what?
Yes, she's eager to leave me, lol.
Oh well, I guess I was excited she was going too, so we're equal... lol
I just didn't expect her to be so excited that I wasn't going. She's growing up too fast! *sigh*
Was your child ever eager and excited to leave you? Was it for a special trip or event with someone?

As the oldest of 6 kids, I'd say that most were not happy when mommy left. My younger sister is a biatch and would scream at them. I had to work for like 3 hours of 6 hours they were departed from mom. They were always so excited to see me and mommy.
So far no. My son is the world's biggest mama's boy. I guess when he finally does get excited to do something without me, I'll know he is finally becoming a big boy.
My kids are always excited to leave me and go their grandparents but anywhere else then they want me.
She's ready to start being a big girl and try things on her own without the safety net.
My boy can't wait for me to leave when I take him to school. He wouldn't even tell me "bye" today ~ he just ran into the room and gave me a backhanded wave.
Two of my kids were eager to go anywhere with anyone, even strangers. One of my kids clung to me like I was the only object in the world to produce oxygen. Luckily, they are fine with whatever is going on now that they are older.
When my daughter was four, I enrolled her in a half day at Montessori School. She loved it so much she asked to go every Saturday as well! When I'd take her up to the door to go in, she'd push me back and say, "You go." Much better than one who cries when you leave. That really hurts.
LOL :) This brought a smile to my face ..
Can't say I've been in that situation since I'm only 18 and single, but someday, when it finally happens to me, maybe I'll feel a little bit of resentment :<
I've already commented, but it's been on my mind all day. I can't get it to leave me alone. My son was always easy to leave. Now, as an adult, he tells me he didn't want to disappoint me, so he never told me of all the bad things that happened to him by bullies at school because he was the smallest in his group. Now that he has a one month old son, he's telling me things I wish he would have told me then. And he was a good kid. Good report cards, no complaints, nothing. He said just the other day, "I hope he (son) grows to be a little bigger than me because I got picked on so much." My heart nearly broke, and he's 32. So watch for eagerness to leave the nest, but also try to key in on other feelings, feelings that I obviously missed, or did not encourage, for some unknown reason.
When I was a kid, I was used to going other places with people so if my parents had to leave or I got a day with another person it was no big deal.
My older brother was ill with cancer and taking a new born to the hospital all the time (even as I grew up into my toddler years and my brother was still sick) I spent a lot of time with my moms best friend.
24 years later and I am still close with her <3
Lol. This is so cute! My mom told stories of how I would push my mom to go home and leave me at school after the 1st day only.
My daughter is six and I haven't really experienced that. Ever since she was a baby thought my mother took her on Friday nights and my inlaws take her on Saturdays. We are still in that process. I hear a lot at night that she misses me and wants me to stay with her until she falls asleep and that school days are too long because she doesn't see me enough. But on her weekends she's with her grandparents she doesn't miss me that much but she hasn't never shown her excitement about me not being there. There are times she's asked if I could stay. The day it comes that she's happy to not have her mama around I'm sure it'll break my heart.
