[quote=Anonymous]Being a mom to babies was way easier than I had thought, but I also have an amazingly supportive husband and we had a full-time nanny when the kids were younger (we both work full-time). Now, however, having kids in elementary school, it is so, so much harder than I had thought. The pain you feel when your kids are hurt (emotionally, not physically, although also that to a certain extent) and the utter helplessness is not something I had anticipated. Of course I've always known I can't control other people, but one of my kids is being mercilessly bullied at school (both verbally and physically) and it is killing me not being able to do anything about it. I have spoken to the school, we have documented every instance, and yet it doesn't seem to be making any difference whatsoever. It's so hard to watch your kids cry from emotional pain than because they're hungry or have colic. Sorry, OP, that probably isn't what you wanted to hear...[/quote]
