In my child's preschool they didn't want me to keep staying through the morning with my daughter, who was having a lovely time at preschool but didn't like the separation aspect one bit. Their argument was the same: the other kids' mothers can't / won't stay, so it wouldn't be fair to the other children to see Katie's mother staying with her. I always thought that was an awful argument. Level that playing field...downwards. It reminds me of mothers who say "well I never nursed my first baby so it wouldn't be fair to nurse this one". Huh. I want to say "you did the best you knew how with your first baby, so do the best you know how with this one too!"
