[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you the OP of the "The love for your children" thread? It's ok. It's hormones. It will get better.[/quote]

nope i'm not.  I am a mom who didn't breast feed much, had some night help, went back to full time work at 3 months and carried tremendous guilt at the time over all that and had all sorts of meltdowns about "how will my baby ever know i'm his mom" (and had plenty of posters on here say "why did you even have kids").  But he's 3 and I have the special "mommy" position and we have a great and secure relationship that's different from the nanny's or grandmas or anyone elses even though i had a lot of help in the beginning and i'm not the person spending the MOST awake time with him now.  I'm just marveling at how that works[/quote]

This is great, OP! You made the choices that were the best for you an your family and you have a wonderful bond with your child. Enjoy! I am not the person who spends the most time with my children either, but I am probably the most constant person and the one who tucks them in at night and who is there when they wake up in the middle of the night because they are scared or unwell. I think that goes a long way. I am not sure there is any magic to the bond. If there is, that's great, too.[/quote]
