Just A Note - First Day of School

We are new to the public school scene. Abby is now in Kindergarten. We are placing her in a public school this year so that next year we can homeschool her through the Duval County Virtual Academy.  I have wanted to homeschool my children since before they were born, but didn't want the hassle and expense of planning a whole cirriculum on my own.  I am not too upset that she has to go to public school because I think it will be a good experience for her.  Her teachers' names are Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Jamison. They are coteachers and seem very nice. I think Abby will do well.  Of course there are 30 students and a supply list a whole page long! I have to keep reminding myself that it is only for one year.  I think we can get through it. 
It has been a typical first day of school, long lines to pick up,  paperwork, and homework.  It is all so new to her, she doesn't want to leave my side, the halls are noisy and there are so many people!  I walk her to her door and hang out with her until she can go inside her room.  I give her a hug and say goodbye, David wants to stay.  I tell the teacher that I can help out if needed and I leave the room.  She will be fine.

Are my kids spoiled? They cry when they don't get their way. They throw things down on the floor. They kick and hit. They scream. They say "no" to everything. They are 5 and 2. I think I need Nanny 911. My husband says that when my 5 year old goes to school she will get better. I say she will get worse, but I am not sure if homeschooling will work because she doesn't listen. Oh yeah, they don't listen. Well, she is already registered at Sheffield so I guess we will see how she does in kindergarten. Then we will go from there.

I don't remember it being so hard to raise my 24 year old. It seemed like a breeze. And I was single! Now I have a husband and all the money I need to raise a child and it seems to be going in the opposite direction. Maybe it was easier because there was was noone to argue with me about what to do, I don't know.

I never dreamed that parenting would be so difficult. I don't see it getting any easier either. It seems to me that the older they get the bigger their problems will be. At least they have each other.
