Hi sixkids, I am sorry to hear about s9. I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to have to cope with 5 kids and a pregnancy. You're a very brave woman and it's great that you have a strong suppory system.
I will like to second maybell's perspective. I feel that kids myst learn to recognise the different typs of emotions and not just the pleasant ones and learn to deal with them. I show my kid when I am sad, not too much though, and explain why I am feeling that way and what I am doing about them. I do mess up big time but I still try to explain to kid that what I do is wrong.
You sound like a very strong lady and I admire you for your strength. Sending positive thoughts your way.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
