And So The Experiment in Preschool Ends. Alternately Titled: I Spent Three and a Half Years Getting Him on a Schedule, Don't Eff It Up.

So it turns out there are unintended consequences to sending your child to half-day part-time preschool:

• He makes your morning a living hell by screaming for the two hours before leaving that he does not want to go to school.

• He embarrasses you by hysterically crying through the whole drop-off process and then dramatically sobbing on the teachers shoulder and refusing to kiss you good-bye when you leave.

• He pisses you off by recovering .3 seconds after you walk out the door.

• He stresses you out by failing to be highly visible on the webcam.

• He makes you crazy by refusing to eat lunch at school and then demanding the exact! same! meal! at home.

• He makes you anxious by falling asleep on the couch amidst your other screaming children who could possible and will definitely not let him sleep nearly long enough.

• He upsets his brother who has been desperately waiting for him to come home by being cranky and refusing to play.

• He hurts your feelings when he asks to go back to school on his off days.

• He hurts your head when he whines all. afternoon. long. on his off days because he didn't take a real nap the day before because he fell asleep on the couch and was totally woken up by those other loud children you have.

• He screws up your agenda because you refuse to take a tired whiny three year old on fun! outings! because taking a tired whiny three year old makes them not! fun! outings!

• He makes you feel like a total losey mcloserton failure when you unenroll him from preschool after less than two-weeks.

• He makes you (very) happy when he says he'd rather be home with Mom.
