As a mom of three kids, I often feel pulled in multiple directions. But, I have to admit, I feel like I do a pretty good job giving each child enough attention...until this coming Monday (it hasn't even happened and I am already feeling awful about it).
Monday is the first day of school. Jordan and Tyson are attending the same charter school and Kya is at their old public school. Last year Tyson and Kya were both at the same school and Jordan was at the charter school. It wasn't too hard juggling for drop off and pick up. One school starts at 8:15am the other 8:20am. The pick up for one is 2:35pm and the other 2:45pm. So normally it's not a big deal. But on the first day of school things are a little different. Normally I can stay and chat with the teacher and the other parents. This year I either have to have Mike take Kya or drop her off so quickly that I may not have time to even meet her teacher. Either way, I will feel like garbage. I just want to be there...for all my kids. It just kills me:(

Oh how hard! I grew up in a town with one elementary school so it wasn't a problem. What if you stayed late when you picked Kaya up and met her teacher, looked at her classroom and let her show you around? Either way you are a great mom, for sure!
I feel that way every day! Luckily the first day of school is only one day, and you will have the rest of the year to talk with the teachers and other parents. I'm sure you'll be able to work it out so that all of your kids feel special :)
