[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645338, member: 17309"] OMG yes. A thousand times yes. I don't know if Jabber is reading this thread. If so, I'm not sure how he'll react to this, although I think I've hinted at it before, but there is a part of me that thinks that he and I are to blame here. We met two months before he turned 4. From our first (blind) date, we never missed a weekend seeing each other. Nine months later we were engaged. We moved in together a year later two months before the wedding, which was three days before his 5th birthday. We were in our 30's and neither really believed we'd ever meet "the one". And he is "the ONE", really truly I feel he is my missing half. I know, rationally, we didn't neglect our son. But part of me wonders if we were so in love with each other that he felt pushed aside, if we should have spent more time focused on him instead of each other. But if that was true, if we neglected him, wouldn't he be more capable, more independent, less babied? It isn't like we didn't take him with us everywhere we went. We took 3 vacations and one honeymoon his whole life without him. We did try to do things he liked, Jabber took him to play golf...he quit. We took him fishing. He didn't like it. We took him camping and to events, but all he wanted to do was spend money. Didn't we try hard enough? Eh...I guess I'm hijacking. My son hates these statements. They don't make a difference to him. They only make him angry. [/QUOTE]
