[QUOTE="buddy, post: 583050, member: 12886"] He sounds like a great kid for sure! I admit I daydream that I'd like to have a easy child, but I am not at that phase of life anymore. I luckily had a small daycare and spent more time with many kids than their parents (who were wonderful people )....many I had from 6 weeks old. I loved helping to raise those kids and we still love eachother. I am glad to have had those relationships. And I'm very close to my nieces and nephews. I took care of them too. I do think thats helpful to my feeling better about my parenting skills. I know Q is disabled and it's not my "fault" but any mistake I make, normal human parenting mistakes, I am harder on myself because I always wonder if he'd be a little better if X Y Z hadn't happened. You're a wonderful mom. Your description from easy child as a baby makes me think that was not so for difficult child to some extent which to me shows he was wired differently from birth. Circumstances certainly influence how things unfold to some degree but I imagine no matter the events in difficult child's life, he'd still have been a challenge to parent. Just thoughts.....enjoy your easy child! I hope he catches up on his work! Nice job supporting him. [/QUOTE]
