[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. your kids cant be your whole life. They will leave at 18 and then what? I alwqys think of it from the perspective if i would want my own daugher ground down and burnt out? No i wouldn't and i would encourage her to find happiness in other things in addition to kids. We are whole people even as mothers. The physicality of child rearing gives way to helping them with emotions, relationships and with hard issues and. Not solving their problems but teach how to resolve themselves. I need to be my whole self to help them and guide and lead by example. [/quote] Your kids can be your whole life when they’re little. Independence comes in stages. I stayed home with my kids full time (ie, no paid help and no local family, just DH and I) until they started morning preschool at 3.5, then kindergarten 2 years later. They don’t go from diapers to college overnight.[/quote]
