moms of more than 1... it passes, right?
I'm already feeling stressed about whether I'm making the right choices for both kiddos, and kid #2 isn't even here yet. I worry that I'm taking DS to the local DPS preschool because it's less expensive. Then I'm worried that I'm not going to have enough time during maternity leave one-on-one with DD. And then I get worried about whether that's fair to DS... Gah. You get the picture. I also hate to admit it, but I'm feeling super freaked out about the fact that after I go back to work, DH will be the person primarily with DD, not me. It's such a role reversal for me. It's not because I don't trust him, or because I think a mom should be there or does it better - it's just that with DS I knew I was there for every little thing until he was a certain age. I know we decided to do this because I earn more than DH would, and it's a practical decision, but in these last few hormonal weeks, I'm really freaking out about all of this. It'll all be ok, and my anxiety about it will pass once DD is here and we're actually doing it, right?

DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
I heard this on one of my favorite shows just the other day
"Bones: The Bone That Blew (#4.10)" (2008)
Special Agent Seeley Booth: You don't think I'm a lousy dad for not sending my kid to a private school?
Dr. Lance Sweets: No. But you'd be a lousy father if you didn't torture yourself about it.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thanks
I think all good parents want the best for their kid(s), and it's just really hard to know what the "best" is for each child, in each situation. The *good* thing is that kids really are resilient, and as long as you love them, and always try to openly communicate with them about how they feel, you'll both be OK. They'll tell you if something is really wrong.
