[QUOTE="change, post: 182235, member: 4808"] Thank you for sharing. I know a fair amount of women myself who are "older" mothers of infants or young children and I've noticed exactly what you stated. They "don't sweat the small stuff" and they are not near as uptight as the young moms or even the "soccer" moms. I teach at a very diverse elementary school so I see all types! As far as myself, I've learned a lot even from my tough experience and I definitely don't take the simple good things in life for granted anymore. My mom is a lot like you...she was a young mother...now she's a very fun Grandma!!! I'm learning to loosen up from her too. My emotional baggage mostly has to do with being afraid that I won't know how to parent a "normal", brand new lttle baby the way they deserve to be after the hell I've been through with our son. I'm scared I'll mess it up. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
