Breastfeeding Bites

Breastfeeding Bites is a place for women, men, moms and dads to come to get and give advice about everything from "should I be worried that my daughter ate a cup of mud" to "why do I always feel guilty going to get a cup of coffee, or wine, with my friends?" Each week there will be a new 'question of the day' that will start the discussion for the remainder of the week. I hope and pray breastfeeding bites will be a resource and sounding board for women and men alike.

Tears of... joy???

So, a friend of mine updated with Facebook page by writing that she was so sad that her little baby was starting preschool in the Fall and what was she going to do, etc... Don't take this the wrong way but I couldn't wait for my son to start preschool. Okay - you can take it anyway you want... but even though I cried on my sons first day of preschool the tears were mostly because I felt like he was so grown up and quite frankly, it bothered me that I wasn't going to be in control of his life for four hours! So, my question is does it make you a bad mom to be excited about your wee ones being gone for a few hours a week? I'm thinking that it shouldn't!
