[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I hate how these threads devolve into women picking on each other. With my first I had a PPA and she had horrible reflux and multiple allergies and literally cried 5-6 hours every evening for about 2 months. I felt like I could not possibly get through it. Nothing has ever been that hard, although that child did turn out to have some special needs and a few really rough periods during diagnosis. With my second I remember just looking at him sitting in the bouncer and not screaming and think oh, this is what everyone else was talking about. Yeah this is delightful.

Now my kids are elementary school age and I love them and I enjoy them. Some days are harder than others. I worry about both of them- my younger one has some medical issues. I’ve always been a worrier and that’s been hard to keep under control. My mom used to say having kids is like having your heart walk around outside your body and that’s pretty much it. I just love them so much it’s wonderful and painful and scary all at once.[/quote]
