Photo of Mothers Peeking into the Classroom Amuses Netizens
MOTHERLY LOVE – A photo shared by “Hazel TC” on Facebook, showing mothers peeking into a classroom window to watch their children on the first day of school, caught the attention and hearts of many people.
Hazel’s post, which was also shared on the official Facebook page of GMA Public Affairs and the morning show “Unang Hirit,” included a heartfelt message: “I see myself in you mommies during the time when my children were still in school.”
The post struck a chord with many parents who shared their own stories and feelings in the comments. One commenter remembered how her youngest child cried throughout the first day of school. Another parent humorously noted that the initial crying and drama eventually leads to children pushing their parents to leave once they get used to the school routine.
A teacher commented, understanding the mothers’ behavior, and explained that this is a sign of motherly love. She shared her own experience of watching over her child on the first day of school, even though she is a teacher herself.
One parent shared her experience with her two children in kindergarten. They would cry and not want her to leave, so the teacher invited the mothers to stay. This situation led to the formation of a group of friends who bonded over their children’s school experiences and remained close even as their children progressed to college.
Another commenter shared a funny memory of hiding with other moms from the school guard to keep an eye on their kids, only to become more comfortable with the situation as their child moved up in school levels. Now, her eldest is in senior high.
On the other hand, one parent noted that her children would insist she go home after dropping them off, especially her eldest, who at three years old didn’t want to be checked on and only wanted her to return when school was over. Hazel’s post sparked a wave of nostalgia and empathy among parents, reflecting the common experience of worry and love that comes with sending children off to school.
