[quote=Anonymous]The weird thing for me is a love my children with an all-consuming intensity which is in itself exhausting.  The love is what wears me out.  If I wasn't so emotionally invested in them I think it might be easier.  I just worry about the all the time.  Not safety per se (although there's that too) but all around, their emotional, psychological, biological well-being.  And the constant juggling of two kids, doctors, dentists, orthodontists, extrracurriculars, and on and on... oh and making sure I don't lose a job that I'm not crazy about so I can continue to support us all.  Single mother not by choice so, there's that....

I have told my daughters that the love you get from being a mother is the best love in the world, and I am so lucky and glad I got it.  AND that if they think they want to d be free to do whatever they want, travel the world, and keep all their money for themselves, etc. etc. that's an option they should think about too.  Not enough people tell girls IMHO that their dreams can include NOT being a mother if they want.  [/quote]
