Mother's Guilt? Mommy's Worry?
This discussion is open to anyone.
Regardless of whether or not we suffer from any post adoption issues, PAD's or not...it seems most mom's suffer from guilt of some sort....working mom's guilt, SAHM mom's guilt...daycare guilt, not getting out enough guilt... KWIM?
Also, is it me or does it seem like we mom's tend to worry about anything related to our kids more than say dad's... Is she walking too late...did he eat enough?  Too much? Sleep habits? Is 'it' normal...whatever normal is? Will she have friends? How will his adoption effect him years from now? On and on and on.
And finally...how the heck do we get over it? Or at least learn to deal with it? Maybe even learn to laugh at ourselves?
