She was on solids and pureed food at less than 3 months. She screamed when she felt confined to the car seat, crib, playpen. I was always at my wits end and cried along with her. Many gave well meaning advice; even Dr. B. Spock textbook on child care didn't cut it. Some nearly compromised her life and health, until our pediatrician told me to "stop and only listen to my child and my instincts." <BR/><BR/>I was wracked with guilt handing her over to a nanny when I went back to work. In the end I felt better about myself and spent quality time instead of being exhausted and trying to be a perfect mom.<BR/><BR/>Our children are a permanent commitment. At any age there will be challenges. We do the best we can and hope the mistakes we make do not leave permanent damage.<BR/><BR/>BTW...RLM thinks the world of you along with Miss. I admire the veracity and intelligence reflected in your writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492732560614835934.post-2552107967745543832009-01-13T10:10:00.000-08:002009-01-13T10:10:00.000-08:00I am king of ignoring! haha... drives Coral crazy,...I am king of ignoring! haha... drives Coral crazy, she is like, "don't you hear her?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492732560614835934.post-23804179505962202322009-01-13T10:07:00.000-08:002009-01-13T10:07:00.000-08:00I hate those dang textbooks...no wonder we always ...I hate those dang textbooks...no wonder we always feel like failures. geezAshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535762749666630776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492732560614835934.post-12419965843394602212009-01-13T09:47:00.000-08:002009-01-13T09:47:00.000-08:00You.
