More of a vent post for my emotions.I'm the stay at home dad and have been with my 5 year old, barring maybe 10 times away from her, since she was born. She has always been there, and I've loved every moment. Every second with her has been rewarding and I cannot understand how anyone can complain about having to spend time with their kids.Tomorrow will be the first time she has been away from me for more than a (max) 2 hours.I'm a stoic guy. It a lot gets to me emotionally. But when it comes to get and her little sister I have no defenses, so this is just crushing me.I know it's going to be fine, she loves learning (and being a little know it all) and she loves making little friends, and new experiences. I still have my 2 year old daughter to keep me company...but I'm sad all the same because tomorrow is the first day of a life of growing up away from daddy.No more daily relaxing on my bed watching her little shows while I read and we wait for little sister to wake up. No more morning trips to the park or to the mall or just having a good time playing at home because she'll be at school.It's stupid and I'm being ridiculous, but oh well. I love my kids. In a little over 2 years (which flies by) my other little one will be on the same journey and it will hit me just as hard.This is more a SadRant than anything, a way to put in words how sad I am.Thanks for reading. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2UbMgIL
