[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any exact advice on the soccer part but as a person that had a fraught relationship with her Mom, your post really spoke to me. I wish I could give you a hug because I really feel you when you describe the struggle. I had to finally get to place where I had to separate my relationship with my mom to that of my kids. I also had to trust myself and know that just because I didn't have a good role model growing up, doesn't mean that my own mommy instincts aren't correct. Please don't cater so much to DD1 that you don't get quality time with DD2. I was doing that since I thought one child had a more 'demanding' personality and one was more easy going. I then overheard them talking and heard the easy going one tell the other sibling that I loved that one more because I spend more time with that sibling. Broke my heart and I immediately made changes. My kids are young enough that I pray I can erase the damage but it is something I think about daily. I know you mean well but please know that your younger DD needs you just as much. Good luck and hugs! [/quote]
