Denise Richards Is Sad Her Children Are In School

Denise Richards is upset her daughters are going to school.
The ‘Wild Things’ actress – who has two girls, Sam, five, and four-year-old Lola, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen – says spending the day apart from her beloved kids is hard.
She said:
"It's bittersweet. Sami starts kindergarten, which I cannot believe, in a couple of weeks. I'm so sad about it."
Denise, 38, is shocked at how quickly the girls have grown up, especially Sam.
She said:
"I can't believe how fast five years have gone. I'm very proud of her and very happy, but from here on out she's in school."
In the absence of her daughters, Denise is showering her attention onto her dogs and often opens her home to stray pooches.
She told People magazine:
"I've always been that way. Ever since I was little I always brought home every little stray dog who didn't have a home. My daughters love animals as well, so I can't help it."
I can't even THINK about the day my daughter starts full time school. It makes me tear up instantly! Parents of older children - does it seem harder than it really is? Once the kids are in school, does it get easier to adjust?

The first time I had to send my daughter to school was torture for me...I cried my eyes out, but it gets much easier after that. I thank God for work. :O)
She looks great and she seems to have a big heart. I can't hate on an animal lover.

My youngest was the same yesterday....she was like "peace out see you at home". My oldest on the other hand had a terrible day.....1st day in middle school with a locker....she couldn't get it open so she carried her school supplies around all day long. Soon as she got in the car the tears came a flooding. She said she felt so embarrassed. I felt so bad for her. ---em's

Oh, I hate that. I would have been hugging her and kissing her like crazy. Then we would go out for ice cream and shopping. :O)

We went shopping, we didn't find what she was looking for but we did get some quality time in just me and her! Hopefully her day is much better today! ---em's

Yes, it's very hard letting go when they're usually with you 24/7. But the girls will have exciting things to share with you everyday. You'll see them learn and grow, and know what a great job you did as a mother.
