The Moods of Moms During Back to School Season

Just like kids have a ton of mixed emotions when returning to the routines of their school days, us moms have a lot of emotions going on too! Here are a few more facts pulled from the Back to School survey Plum District did recently:

  • Many Moms are Excited: 39 percent of Moms feel excited, yet another 26 percent feel relieved.
  • Moms are More Sad than Kids: 40 percent of Moms say they are the MOST sad family member, followed by the kids at 33 percent… and the dog at 21 percent.
  • Moms’ Top Worries: The top reason Mom is worried about her kids going back to school is surprisingly not bullying (that’s #2) — it’s whether or not her kids have a good teacher.
  • Moms are Likely to Cry: 54 percent of Moms say they are likely to cry on the first day of school.
  • Moms Plan to Write a Special Note:  57 percent will likely tuck a hidden note into their kids’ bags.

Which one of these do you relate to most? My little girl isn’t old enough to head off to school yet – she’s only 2 years old. But my live-in nephews are 6 and 8, and I remember crying as I sent Cole off with his big brother last year for the first day of school! It can definitely be an emotional thing – I was so excited for him to start his new adventure as a student, but couldn’t believe he had grown up so much already. Crazy, right?

If you’re still finishing up your back to school shopping – Check out Plum District for the more unique selection at awesome prices!
