Bronxmom, I thought you came across really well and I don't think crying in front of him was bad at all.

People cry, its normal and its a good life lesson for your son, especially since he seemed to realize that mum was just a little frustrated and disappointed, at that time. We cant (and shouldn't) always hide how we are feeling (kids know anyway!). Crying is a perfectly natural, normal and harmless emotion and along with open communication can be a great bonding experience. As long as he knew you weren't crying because of him, but because of the school and the process, I don't see the problem at all.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors!
