Yup, that sounds about par for the course.
Good luck with the detachment process, but we all need that "mommy alone time."

Thank you all so much for your comments....
Azur and Tanga....
I would love to just go and leave him there, but the staff will not let me...they tell me I have to stay until he is ready....And I agree with everything you both said, because when my daughter started Nursery, the same thing happened, I would have had to stay longer than a week and half, if I didn't get annoyed and tell them that I must leave because she would be better if I was not there....at first they would not let me, but soon enough they did and she was fine...
I may have to do the same with Jamie if this keeps up, as I am home again with him today...they told me to take him home...it is quite frustrating, as I think I should sort of throw him in the deep end and see how he gets on then, but they wont hear of it yet as it s only the second day...I am giving it a week then I will speak my mind and see where I get...
Thank you all for your comments...

I completely agree with Azur's comment
I just lost my whole comment, so I have to remember what I wrote......
here goes..... You just have to let go and leave them. They will eventually settle and will do it easier once mommy is gone. The same thing happened with Aidan on his first day of Nursery School. The teacher said that I must just go and they will handle it and care for him. I trusted the teacher and just told Aidan that I would pick him up later and that he should have fun. When I picked him up later his teacher said he stopped crying as soon as I left. Children are just like that, they settle much better once mommy is gone and just seem to act differently when mommy is around. Don't worry about it too much, it will soon be better. You must just leave and let go. That is sometimes very hard to do but the best thing to do, otherwise you will battle for a long time. Good luck, be strong, it will get better, you'll see.

I know this isn't very reassuring but your post reminds me that I really hated school.

My response will not be popular but here it is. Sometimes you have to turn around and walk out the door when they cry. I never ask them if they want me to stay because then they will say yes. I just tell them that I have to go now but I love them very much and I will back to collect them. I had to do it a few times with either child but always I found out from the teacher afterwards that they cried for about one minute and then two minutes later they were playing happily for the session and were absolutely fine.

Like Tanga, I was quite taken with the answer “closed”. Both will do fine…. Day one, week one, is the hardest.

Don't worry. Guess they will settle in after some days.

Hi there
The only thing that concerns me regarding Aidan and school is that he never tells me what he does at school. When I ask he answers "nothing". When I collect him all his friends shout "Bye Aidan" and he does not say bye or wave, just walks off with a shy smile on his dial.

I loved the
answer "Closed". We were lucky with Aidan. He was a bit clingy at first, but soon got the hang of it. We did not have to stay. He settled quite quickly. He started nursery school yesterday again after his holiday. I am sure my wife will eloborate more!

SYMPHONY, This brings back lots of memories. All of mine did fine first day except for my youngest. Had a bit of a problem with him but it didn't last long.
