Musings of a Mother December 13, 2005

Posted by spacemom in : Kids , 1 comment so far

I am in a frustrated state today. This is the week we tell daycare
that we are leaving. I know in my heart, this is the right thing to
do. Soleil needs the challenge. She needs to be in an environment that
is non-violent, challenging, loving. The current daycare can be
loving, but the rest, I don’t see anymore.

I worry that we are going to cause Luna and Soleil undue stress. Hell,
I know Luna is going to be stressed. I am not sure about Soleil. She
will do well since Rachael is going with her. I am sure she will make
new friends. Dr. Jay points out that to improve things always takes
work. I agree, but I wish I could somehow make things better for my
kids and not cause them pain.

I suppose this is part of being a parent. You want so much to do the
right thing for your kids, but if that involves pain, you want to
avoid it. I hate to imagine Luna having trouble adjusting to the new
daycare. I think she will do fine in time.

This is just the ramblings of a worried mother. What else can I do?
Sigh….
