Sometimes I ...Oh my...I could've written this! Sometimes I feel like Adira gets the short end of the stick because she's a handful and gets disciplined more than the little guy does. And other times I feel guilty toward little E because I had some mixed emotions in the beginning of my pregnancy with him...there was just so much going on and it was during a bad time. Also, my mom and sister were very disappointed when they found out I was having a boy - he was unwanted by them - that's something that's very hard for me to forget about, even though my mom's sentiments have changed completely. <br><br>I think to be without guilt we would have to be without feelings, so it shows that we care - a great motherly trait. Even though the guilt is overwhelming at times, it shows that we love our kids tremendously.Odiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05974171471178176423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703617126987503327.post-4029358125437854562009-08-02T12:40:51.992-05:002009-08-02T12:40:51.992-05:00I hear ya on the disciplining thing! I can't b...I hear ya on the disciplining thing! I can't believe I didn't mention that. Abby's similar to Adira in that way! As for Grant, I feel guilty over so many more things: withdrawing him at the height of my PPD; having to put him in daycare at such a young age (and subsequently missing out on so much of his first couple of years); and so many more things. I think I harbor more guilt about him than the girls - at this point, anyway! LOL<br><br>I think you're right about the guilt. It does show that we care for our kids and want to do right by them. Thanks for sharing that thought - hopefully I can remember it when the guilt is laid on thick! ;-)ham1299http://www.blogger.com/profile/04571203527388227830noreply@blogger.com
