My physical disability from birth. I was confident that it wasn’t genetic but you never know. I’ve dealt with it and I’ve done well but I think I’m very lucky. But it was physical and not mental and that was a blessing.

"Sorry, that won't/doesn't work for us," said really breezily has never failed me.

My stutter. I heard her tell all of her teacher “I go by NICKNAME” and I was so glad she didn’t have to suffer through my yearly/semester/every substitute “call me by my middle name” that took forever because I stuttered through the whole thing

Also I have great vision, but both my husband and my father have AWFUL vision, so I was sure any kid I had would need glasses out of the womb. Luckily she has great vision too.

Everything except maybe my natural intelligence. I hope they take after my husband.

Pale skin, awkward lack of athletic ability, poor dance skills. My youngest is 10, but my 13 year old has completely skipped the awkward phase I had from age 10-14.

I wish they had gotten my love of reading though.

-Epilepsy

I grew up in Fl, I would be a terrible helicopter parent here if my child was diagnosed.

-Dry Feet
My feet used to bleed so much as a kid because of this, and was very painful.

So much more, I have terrible genetics.

My asthma and allergies.

My penchant for procrastination.

Perfectionism (mostly. I could take a perfectly clean room now and then.)
