I've done it again - let panic get the better of me and made myself feel like a pathetic over protective mother.
I usually pick my son up from school. They come out at 2.45 and I normally expect to see him about 10 minutes later because he always seems to be the last one out. 3 o'clock comes and no sign of him - everyone has gone by this time. I try to be rational but I can feel the panic rising. I go into the office to make sure he was actually there which he was. So by this time my mouth is so dry I can't swallow, my heart is pounding and I feel like I'm in a dream.
Anyway - 3.05 and he turns up and I feel like screaming at him 'where the f*** have you been' but I restrain myself.
The worst thing about it is that he is 14 and I know I shouldn't be getting myself into such a state because he really is old enough to look after himself but I can't help it. Will it ever get any easier?
