They really flourish with some one to one time and they are all so different. In all that's happened my children have each in their own ways been my rock(s).

And remember, whatever happens, if you hadn't met your H those children wouldn't exist - you may have had other children but not THOSE ones.

I just want to be a fly on your family's wall Chicki when your girls get bigger - I think your H might get the run around!! The ones that say their daughters can't date until their 25 are the ones that end up with them pregnant at 16 over here in the good old UK. The stricter the parent the harder they fall......... ;\)

I have now gone more to the "i'll just be there to pick up the pieces at the end" school of parenting!! Well not quite that far, but I do have to be much more laid back than I naturally am if I don't want to drive my children away and I want them to share things with me. I am by nature a disciplinarian which I think can make life with kids a bit frustrating but I do just love them more and more as they grow and change. When you can see the person that you have helped create offer something to the world and be an independent person it's just great.
