[quote=Anonymous]Question for you guys. I had my kids much younger than my college friends who started having babies in their late thirties/early forties. We are 40, they have babies and toddlers,!and my kids are teens and tweens. When we catch up, I spend a lot of time listening to them agonize about all the typical little kid stuff that I admittedly worried about too: breastfeeding, sleep training, daycare, screen time, sugar, type of preschool, etc. As a mom of older kids, my inclination is to tell them none of this stuff matters in the long run (in a nice way of course, I wouldn’t put my friends down). I usually say, “yeah it’s hard, I remember worrying about that too, but I promise you this won’t make a difference when they’re 14.” I mean it in a comforting way. If none of this stuff really matters, then you can’t screw up too badly. But I worry this comes off as too know-it-all or something? Would you appreciate this or be annoyed?[/quote]
