AFwife Claire Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I would also love an invite. My oldest 4 are boys, ages 22, 19, almost 18, and 16. I felt like I had a great support group for me back in VA, but when we moved a year ago, it's been harder to find people to open up to about my older kids, since I just don't know people here as well. This group is obviously a popular idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonflower Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 6 hours ago, fairfarmhand said: It can be very scary. The hardest thing about parenting is that you don't know whether you've done a good job until it's too late to do anything about it! I think women often struggle with how complicated parenting can be. It's not as simple as : do a, b, and c and x, y, and z will occur. I admit that I was of the basic belief that once they could make their own sandwich, wipe their own bottom, and brush their own teeth, I was going to be good to go. I don't remember being all that difficult after that! so of course I have a zillion little kids, the oldest of whom are just entering the teen years, and I am starting to realize that 4 teenagers might be harder than 4 toddlers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
