[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 642754, member: 12856"] I think the reason that people believe that you want him to stay a child, is that even though you say you want him to grow up, in some ways you want him to depend on you for things he can and should do for himself. I think that it comes from a place of fear. If you don't do these things for him, something bad will happen to him. That is the one thing you could not face. It is the same fear that all of us have faced to one degree or another. For mothers of only children it is much stronger. I continue to struggle with my fears vs. the need to let mine fail in order to succeed. [/QUOTE]
