[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my 6 year old. I enjoy building with him, playing games with him, helpinghis Cub Scout Den out, baking with him, reading to him and all that. I would be devestated if anything happened to him. Utterly devestated.

I also knew right away I did not want a second child. I never struggled with dropping him off at day care. Honestly, I beat myself up because I was happy to go back to work. I knew he was in a great program and that we had worked our schedules so he would only be there for 6 hours a day. And I really liked being around adults and adult conversation, such as it is.

And as much as I love my child, I know that I would have been happy if I hadn’t had a child. I don’t feel like there would have been this gaping void in my life. I totally get my friends who have chosen not to have kids. I don’t think they are making a mistake or a missing out on something.

I would fall a part of anything happened tomy little man. I love the sound of his giggle and his snuggles. I cherish carrying him to bed and being with him. Another part of me understands that there is life without kids.  Don’t dread his growing up.

Is that what you mean?[/quote]

This is EXACTLY me. Thank you for posting. I don’t know anyone who I feel like I can’t be like, um yes dropping off at daycare is fine with me. Thank you for making me feel less alone. [/quote]
