[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 465995, member: 1514"] You know...I think some of us may also have a bit of what I call "love drugged memories". Its kind of what happens when you have a baby. When you are going through labor and delivery its soooo bad. It hurts horribly. You think it will never end and while its happening you swear on everything that is holy that you will never do this again. But as soon as that little baby is placed in your arms, well, suddenly all that pain retreats to the back of your mind. You forget it...it becomes a foggy memory. It doesnt seem so bad anymore. Maybe it wasnt quite as bad as you thought. I know I thought when I was raising my kids I thought it was awful. I thought it would never end. I am certain it was really bad or I wouldnt have been on this board but now...Im finding it hard to remember all the bad things now...lmao. I know I didnt know everything about how to parent when I had my boys. I was 19 when I had my first one. I was 24 when Cory was born. So obviously I had 3 kids by the time I was 24. I was very ill prepared for this task. I grew up as an only child and didnt live near my cousins. My mother sure wasnt a good role model. I did it by the seat of my pants. Did I make mistakes? Oh hell yeah. Am I a better parent the second time around...yes. I see all the mistakes I made back then. I see the things I wish I could do over. I wish I had taken them out of McDonalds when they threw a fit instead of thinking..damn, I need to feed them because I have school tonite and I dont have time to get anything else. No, I could have never managed to keep them in a store for that long simply because they would have gone bonkers. I had a hard enough time taking them to the mall. I had to put them on a leash to do that. [/QUOTE]
