[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids (2,4, 7). I often feel touched out. Recently I flinched when my 7 year old tried to hold my hand and I realized how touched out I was. I’m still nursing the 24m old which I love, but I’m sure it’s a part of it. It’s just during wake up and sleep. That part is the best part of our days. The rest of the time when she won’t let other people hold her, help her get or talk to her sucks. The other two are all over me too. Like I still can’t pee in private.

The weird part is that Dh never understands. He’s a great dad and very hands on, but they don’t want to snuggle him nonstop or nurse him. [/quote]

This just sounds like a lot of choices. Having 3 kids, nursing one for 2 yrs, etc. [/quote]

NP.  Kindly, did you read the article?  You are actually proving the author’s point - ie this mother “asked for it”.

Of course PP made choices. Why can’t mothers feel some ambivalence about their choices?  Are you trying to tell PP that because she “asked for it,” she is not entitled to have any negative emotions about motherhood?  [/quote]
