[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you may also want to consider sitting down with a therapist to talk through some of these thoughts.  As others have said, your anxiety can feed onto your kids.  I have struggled with this as well and have found that professional help is very helpful.  (And yes, like many others here - I'm another high performing Ivy Leaguer with kids now - they don't teach us this stuff in our fancy pants schools!).  It's not the cheapest solution in the world, but you seem to have the income to easily afford this.  And I guess I'd argue that putting your health (including mental health) first will be better for your kids in the long run.  Good luck.  [/quote]

DH is in a different time zone. I woke him up and spoke to him for the past hour. DH had a few funny airport stories and made me laugh. This thread has also made me feel better. One of my closest friends is getting divorced after miscarrying earlier this year. I have listened to her cry. Also just found out another friend has stage 4 cancer. My attention has shifted from being hyper focused on my child's inability to count to 20. He put out a bunch of toys this morning and we counted the toys together. He got 13 and 14 mixed up but that is ok. I will take that for now.[/quote]
