[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 593953, member: 9177"] My older son was born on Mother's Day 2003. Having had a difficult child mother myself whom I never had a bond with, and also fighting a losing battle with raising difficult child, I was [I]terrified[/I] of becoming a mother. All that faded as soon as I held him for the first time. He's the best Mother's Day gift I could ever get, a gift that keeps on giving because he's SUCH a great kid, so sweet, smart, and wonderful - I get compliments on him from other parents ALL the time. My saddest/scariest day was a morning when easy child 2 was under age 2. That morning, difficult child had had a HORRIBLE morning, screaming that she was going to kill all of us (among other things). I wasn't about to take her to school all wound up like that. After having time to calm down, I was having a "come to Jesus" talk with her, and I was so focused on her that easy child 2 managed to escape through the doggie door, toddle down our driveway, and get partway down the street. My neighbor's landscaper dude saw him, fortunately, and nothing bad happened. But that day was probably the worst day of my life. I still tear up about it. [/QUOTE]
