[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 721317, member: 19290"] I relate to that dynamic -- seeing positive signs as signposts and then experiencing something old that makes you feel like a chump. Maybe the same thing that erases memories of the pain of childbirth, also erases memories of past disappointments and lets us reset our hopes. Just a couple weeks ago, I started a post with "I spoke too soon.". And I've also thought many times that I don't want to jinx progress. I'm glad you posted this. My son has also said things like "it's never enough for you". I don't think that's true but considering the issue from a distance (thinking about your son instead) I can see how they would see it that way. It seems like how they make us feel in interactions is as important as their markers of independence. We can only trust their progress If they sound right too. That makes some sense, but it feels like there's something there that we need to work on. Insecurities can make people acutely sensitive to competition in life. Maybe they can never see a way to get in front of our achievements and expectations? [/QUOTE]
