[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you have kids, how are your raising them?[/quote]

For a long time, I did not want kids. I did not want to get married either. I wanted to spend my life alone and safe. But my spouse met me and wouldn't let go (broke up with my spouse over 20 times before we got married because I was afraid). My spouse really wanted kids. So, we have a couple now. I am very loving and devoted to my family. I was that parent with the Ergo strapped to me nearly 24/7 whose kids never slept through the night because I would get up with them at any hour and did not have the heart for cry it out. I fed them all organic, never let them cry before I ran over with a toy and hugs, coslept and hired a specially trained nanny after convincing my boss to let me telecommute for a year. I know for a fact that kids can turn out well without all of this (duh). But I want them to have the life I saw other kids enjoying when I used to roam neighborhoods alone.

I take family very seriously. The dark side is that I am secretly paranoid about their safety. I had a PI shadow my nanny for a week after she started. As much as we have, I am always worried about them not having enough. I have an emergency fund, back up emergency fund, and secret stash.[/quote]

Wow. OP do you/have you continue to get therapy for yourself? [/quote]
