[quote=Anonymous]I did this with my first db, op. I was obsessed with doing everything right for her. I read to her for hours a day, constantly chatting, baby classes, no screens, played on the floor, took to museums almost every other day, researched child development in my spare time, prepped special food... You get the idea. Looking back I did an amazing job, and I think she really benefited. With second db, who came along 7 years later, I could not sustain this. I had so much more housework and was pulled in other directions because of older DC. I had also started some freelance work. The first year with second db was hard. Db did not benefit at all. I feel bad about that. I ended up focusing more on the home after that but I've never been able to focus on the kids like I did the first 5 years with first db. I say if you want to do it and are able go for it. It's certainly possible. [/quote]
