[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 11748, member: 2315"] I had my first child at 22. Second at 24. Then when second was three I started being a foster mom. i had a continuous stream of pre adoptive infants for 7 years. Then I took a short break and found I longed to hold a baby almost constantly. I went back to fostercare. I started taking at risk infants and toddlers. did that for another several years for a total of 22 infants and one adolecent. By that time I had adopted two more and the youngest was showing to be a real difficult child. I couldn't manage another baby when he had to be supervised 24/7. so for a few years i was baby free but I had a small dog. Then I became a grandma at age 48. I took care of my grandson for the first three years all day and sometimes over night five days a week. A month after my grandson was born, kittens were abondoned in my woodpile so I ended up being mommy to them. Bottle feeding kttens every two hours round the clock and taking care of grandson too. I loved it! Then a friend got pregnant and she asked me to care for her daughter too. I loved this little girl but she was extremely difficult so I only did that for 8 months. Then my daughter decided to become a stay at home mom. I was suddenly infantless. It was so hard on me. I finaly had to tell her I really needed to see him at least once a week. I couldn't go cold turkey. When my grand daughter came along my daughter was a stay at home mom. I didn't get to hold her much because my daughter felt she had missed out the first time around and didn't want to share much. Sooooo I got a puppy! He is a sweety but he is a PIA!
