Morning everyone!
Nicolette - Sounds like a nasty side-effect!!! Hope it lightens soon...
Flowergirl - Is she around 3?? I can write books of poetry about a 3 year old...It was really a tough time for us. My LG is turning 4 on friday and things are going better - you can actually reason with her at times, but a 3 year old....forget about it!! If I could go back in time I would do few things different. For one I know now that a 3 year old can NOT follow instructions and expecting them to do so is futile. The times when they actually do follow your instructions are pure coincidence because it alligned with their own needs at that time too. It is just a wave you must ride out - forget about staying in control!
After speaking to my therapist about the whole second child idea thing, my husband and I both decided that if it will happen then we accept it but if it doesn't happen before a certain age we see it as it was not meant to be. My husband and I are both concerned that we will not cope with a second child because my health is really poor at times. If we only have one child we can afford private schooling for my LG, but if we have 2 children we seriously doubt it, something that is a concern for us. Anyway, just wanted to say that I know this is a difficult position to be in...
