WOH and sleeping issues
| Sun, 05-22-2005 - 10:34am |
We were at a dinner party last night at the home of one of dh's coworkers. They have 2 boys, 6 and 4. They have a bunch of sleeping issues (kids 'scared' at night, won't fall asleep in their own bed, won't go to bed without mom or dad cuddling them, etc.) The mom blames herself because since she works all day and misses them so much she tends to cuddle with them late at night and they fall asleep in a pile on the bed all together. She said that if she SAH, they wouldn't have the same issues.
I sah. For us, bed time is a rigid, welcome respite at the end of the day. Dh has no desire to keep them up either, lol.

But I'm not so sure about this ;-) Two years after my most recent c-section, that incision is still a little tender!

And? 20 years of your life are going to pass with or without children, and then 20 more, and so on. Its not like your life is suddenly completely your own once they are grown either. Nor does that 20 years mean 20 years of intense caretaking like with an infant or small child.
You make it sound like those are 20 *wasted* years. Are your children that much of a burden to you?

Of course it will be completely my own!
