No real words of wisdom here either but you've come to the right place. (((((( Karen))))))
I can't remember what it was like being the cute young Mom with a first baby (he just got his Learners permit) and I am petrified that I have done my smallest son a disservice by being so freaking old when I had him. I will be 40 in November.
Please don't think this is a disservice.... (we're not that old !!!) I found myself thinking this same thing when we had our youngest girl. There are times when I start slipping into this thinking but for the most part, she makes me feel even younger. Age is just a number right !
Lest anyone feel the need to call me on my "rant" I will state the positives - I am exercising. I love my work. My children are healthy, happy and thriving in their environments - school, extra-curriculars etc... H and I are getting along great in terms of parenting, spending what precious little time we have together, sharing household responsibilities, budgeting $$, and the logistics of life.
Keep doing this ! It's real easy to get caught up in the negatives. Just my personal experience talking, don't ignore them by sweeping your problmes under the rug but try not to let them become your main focus of attention. Doing so, tends to bring me down and only seems to compound the problems. Having a positive attitude doesn't make the problems go away but give you a little bit of the upper hand in dealing with them.
I don't know folks. I just don't know
Hang in there and listen to what these people on here have to say. I've stumbled my way upon here and I've received some wonderful advice.
