You are right, parents love each child the same but I didn't feel that I it took me years to really let go of some of those type of comments spoken over or against me.<br /><br />You are doing a great job at trying to kick all this in the butt.

I'd like to say it gets easier, but it really only gets different as they get older! That said, I think, as parents we can always learn something (from pamphlets or other parents) that will help us guide and mold our children (and ourselves) into better peopleKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911244878074676288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-60433371901219813942010-10-23T20:51:38.897-07:002010-10-23T20:51:38.897-07:00very enlightening.very enlightening.pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350181466754870894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-26951983409201261962010-10-23T13:36:12.034-07:002010-10-23T13:36:12.034-07:00Maybe it didn't give you "the" answe...Maybe it didn't give you "the" answers, but I found this to be an incredibly insightful post Jamie. I would have never thought about the comparisons thing. Not that I have more than 1 yet, but definitely good stuff to remember for future use. Thanks for sharing this.

i realised ...you are certainly not alone with that!<br />i realised recently that lots of my girls' fighting is about "i can't have what she got".so i try to show them that they can play with something else which is equally nice or that they can build something (many fights are about lego and blocks) just as nice as well....<br />but to deal with a fight at the very end of a long day....oh well...not that easy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-43377610376870307512010-10-22T22:32:56.586-07:002010-10-22T22:32:56.586-07:00wonderful post!

Dax tells me often he doesn't love me anymore :( I hold the hope that one day it will get better and hold close those days that contain less yelling/fighting/crying.
