Lydia's Son Is Worried About Her Competing in a Spartan Race

It's back-to-school time for The Real Housewives of Orange County kids, and perhaps no one is more emotional about that fact than Lydia McLaughlin.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Stirling, Maverick and Roman all started their first day of third grade, kindergarten, and preschool, respectively, on Wednesday. Lydia admitted that she got a little teary-eyed as she saw her sons off to school. "Today all THREE of my boys started school," Lydia captioned a photo of herself with her kids. "I'm planning to conquer the world every morning, until noon, when I have to pick up Roman from preschool. #ICriedAtDropOff #emotionalmother."

The McLaughlin boys weren't the only ones to kick off a new school year on Wednesday. Shannon Beador's twin daughters Stella and Adeline also started their first day of seventh grade on Wednesday.
