Well, now I'm realizing that the right thing is what my instincts tell me. Thanks so much for reminding me. Remember too, you did do a wonderful job with that teen, so your methods are definitely right on.

We raised our children how we saw fit. My first born slept with me for four years, she's an intelligent high functioning 23 yr old adult today. My youngest @ 20 yrs old is a mother herself, and one that raises her daughter the way she was raised. <br />Lose the guilt, sunshine, we are the best of what we can be. And if that involves supper @ McD's then celebrate your success. You didn't let them starve... and really? McD's fries are THE. BEST. EVER. <br />:-)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117897722689659041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-40091443334047587412010-12-07T16:20:14.083+02:002010-12-07T16:20:14.083+02:00Oh, to just be normal.

Must be all the guilty feelings of juggling motherhood and a career that want us to excel in everything we do...and all that happens is that we get burn-out and feel like a total failure. We need to just relax and enjoy every day...even if we need to get Macdonalds;-DLynette Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008748483680810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-26328899584423695902010-12-07T16:16:57.726+02:002010-12-07T16:16:57.726+02:00Oh yes, so true.

I've knocked myself out over the years wondering if I am doing the right thing but you know what I am, and I am liking it and my kids are benefitting from it and although there will always be things that I need to strive to improve and do better I think that I too can give myself a break and just 'be' :)<br /><br />Great post :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909098646294265399noreply@blogger.com
