Did any other parents have a really hard time with this?Man, as a father, I honestly got a little teary eyed dropping my daughter off this morning for her first day at school.It's like, this little girl has been dependent on me her whole life. And my whole job as been to shield her from the bad parts of the world. And now I'm turning her over to someone else.I can see how intimidated she is by the classroom and all the kids she doesn't know. Every instinct I have is to jump in there and protect her from it, you know? "I'll find your hook for you. I'll find you your seat for you. You know what, I'll just sit here next to you the whole day."...but you can't do those things. You gotta let her face it herself and have her own experiences now.Like I said, I just didn't expect to feel that way. Maybe I see the beginning of the end of her being my little baby, I don't know. Am I overreacting? Does anyone else go through that? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2bjqwjJ
