[quote=Anonymous]I think as the kid ages you realize that ups and downs are par for the course and realizing that helps you cope with the low times. Also, if things *don't* go well, eventually you let go of your expectations. I used to have a lot of expectations for how my kid's life would unfold. I have been in a much more brutal and difficult place with my kid (he's a teen) than I ever expected to be when he was little, but I am not more stressed than when he was a toddler having struggles at preschool because I no longer think he will have a typical high school or college experience, or a typical adulthood. Yes, I know that sounds sad, but there is great peace in acceptance.[/quote]
