[QUOTE="totoro, post: 200731, member: 3155"] Linda Thank you! I have learned so much from this board. Every time I read one of the KT or WM stories I hold onto them... much for the insight. HOC~ I fully agree about the extras... I don't want my kids to feel *special* but I need to lift them up at the right times. I try to let go of the embarrassing feelings also! Even though it is SO hard. This is the first year we are actually going to the movies! We even went to Chuck-e-Cheese for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it was slow but we did OK! I think because a lot of us deal with depression with our kids also, we need to be able to give them the support also. HUGS even when I don't feel like it. I try to make a conscience effort to stop and tell the girls they are doing a good job randomly... Pick your battles... I learned that one real fast! One thing that husband and I try to do, and I don't know if we would feel it was so important if we had easy child's? Is the need to make them do things on their own. By themselves. They never want to be alone or do things on their own, K more so than N. K gets into her, depressions and I don't force her to be alone then. But I want her to know that she can be alone and it is OK. Talking to other members here whose kids deal with this really has made me aware of how hard it can become. I know Steely was even having a hard time getting M to go out of of the house for awhile. I don't know if you, Heather have that problem with Wynter ever? Just thoughts.... Always thinking! [/QUOTE]
