[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops 3rd grade AAP.  Much better!
I don't disagree.  I actually feel bad that people stress so much over this, and they don't have the experience yet with older kids to realize it's so pointless to get an ulcer over this.[/quote]

Yes but you could say this about EVERY stage of parenting, really. It's a jaded "been there, done that" perspective...but it's your perspective because you are beyond it now. I don't think you would have appreciated someone constantly saying "you think *that's* something to worry about?...just wait 'til he starts crawling!" when you were anxious about your sleepless nights with your newborn, do you? Same thing here.

I remember being elated when I got our preschool acceptance letter (it was a lottery) and of course I look back on that and laugh about how silly that seems from a distance. But in the moment, it was my LIFE!

And if you can't relate, you don't have to post here or belittle those who do. Just move on. No one is hurting you by sharing their anxiety with each other. (And I doubt anyone is getting "an ulcer" over any of this. Lots of hyperbole actually makes you appear more irrational than the posters you are trying to dismiss.)[/quote]
