[quote=Anonymous]It's ok, op. We all have baggage, and it's hard, because we all want our kids to have the best of everything, but the hard part of parenting is recognizing that you won't always be able to give your child the "perfect" life, and they won't always have the "best." But they don't need the best, they need food, clothing, shelter, and your love. And probably a good education and some socialization as well. As long as you get the mandatory stuff, everything else will be ok. Don't worry! My mother and father are both mentally ill, and I used to have the same concerns as you. But seeing my children grow up, I realize that my relationship with them is most important. They are wonderful, resilient little people, and figuring out that grandma and grandpa are a little "different" isn't going to kill them.[/quote]
