scrapbookbuzz Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 As of August I will have one child in high school! Yikes! Scares me half to death but at the same time so excited for her! Husband agrees we need to put her on a College Prep schedule. This will be challenging for all of us as none of us are 'structure' people. What did you all feel like when you first had a child hit high school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BakersDozen Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Like someone dropped me on my head! Yep. Now I'm entering the senior year and it's the same all over again (how's that for encouraging, lol?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyndiLJ Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Us too! First one entering the high school years, and I spent much of this past year in great angst over it. Trying to discern a path is not easy :-) Four years from now, we'll be posting about post-high school plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in NY Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Welcome to high school, mom! Join the fun! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaleri Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It is overwhelming and exciting. Having already graduated three, you'd think I have a handle on it. With the first one (graduated in 2005), I feel I failed her. She had debilitating migraines and was depressed. Ds #2 went to ps. Dd #3 went to ps and came home. Really buckled down and got serious about high school. Joined a co-op for accountability (for her and me). She later thanked me for making her work so hard. Now ds #4 will be in 11th grade and ds #5 in 9th grade. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. (My 16 yo ds says it's a train =) Hangeth thou in there beloved!

elegantlion Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well I just realized we have a little over a month before we start 10th. This is how I feel today :ph34r: or :scared: Before last year? like this ---> :willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yep, I think all of those apply! Glad to know the feeling is normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just another one who felt all of the above, lol. With my oldest beginning college searching, I am feeling overwhelmed all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chava_Raizel Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 We're in the same boat. I'm both excited and scared out of my wits! It's almost like starting homeschooling all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yes, I'd say that panicked and excited was how I felt! But spending time here is a great way to stay informed and be supported. Thank you Susan Wise Bauer for providing these boards. Welcome to the high school years! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
