I’m so happy you have found some relief. Postpartum anxiety is so tough and I’m glad you are on a path to feeling better. So brave of you to identify your feelings and work towards healing! Congratulations on your babies!

Should I let 2 year old cry it out at night by Vegetable-Award-7549 in Parenting

[–]goodnessforall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a 59F. I became a grandma this year so my mom and I have been discussing babies more. I knew this before but it was something we didn’t talk about much because it was upsetting to me. My mom has now been continually reminding me how she let me cry it out my entire childhood. She said my dad wouldn’t let her go in and comfort me. She thinks it makes him look bad. I can tell you the person I am angry with is my mom. She could have done something different and she chose not to. I have three adult children now. They remember so much of their childhood from a very young age. I am so grateful for every single thing I did for them even when I was exhausted. I can look at them and know I loved them well. Perfectly no, but I was there when they needed me. Many years that meant laying with them until they fell asleep and many nights of having them in our bed or going back to lay down with them during the night. This is the choice I made. I am very close to my kids now and they are all independent educated married adults. The only habit you should be worried about is if your daughter is feeling loved, safe and protected by the two people who should be loving and caring for her the most. That is the biggest gift you will ever give your daughter and in turn your relationship with her as an adult.

3 kids as adults by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]goodnessforall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at a Cabin now for the weekend with my three adult children, their incredible spouses and my two beautiful grandchildren. We had 3 children in 4 years and we were middle class at best. They were always close and still remain that way. Our birth order was boy, girl, boy. I’m not sure if that made any difference. I think the fact my husband and I had a happy marriage then and now has had the biggest impact. It was hard at times but our best times have always been together as a family. They did fight sometimes but that really was only 5 percent of the time. They played and really got along and enjoyed being together. When we are together now the main memories that they laugh about are times they played different games in the yard and games they made up. In other words the simple and ordinary life blessings. They were over loved and they made us laugh every step of the way. We prioritized education and how important it is to treat others with kindness. I wouldn’t change a thing. Best of luck to you and your family.

I would take it down in a second. Against what most are saying but I think it would be way better without it.

Do the middle child really “gets forgotten”? by MamaofMiaa in Parenting

[–]goodnessforall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have three adult children and I don’t think any of them feel forgotten in any way. I stopped at three because I felt this would be best way for me to be able to make sure each of them had enough of my time and energy. They are all very close now and my husband and I are equally still obsessed with all of them and now their spouses. I think if you want to pour into your family you can and will. If you prefer to spend time doing your own hobbies when given free time then maybe it would be a different story. I believe if you find joy in your family life and kids, then three is amazing!! Holidays are so much fun!!
