It is unfortunate, so I do relish it when I run into someone who truly sees children as a blessing. I too enjoy all the different stages of development and try to be as positive as I can with the naysayers!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062109148055436125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17250587.post-86342650248909093562007-12-03T14:24:00.000-07:002007-12-03T14:24:00.000-07:00I actually heard from a mother with twins that the...I actually heard from a mother with twins that they were easier at around six months than her single child was because they entertained each other! <BR/>When I was pregnant a stranger was telling me how hard newborns were and how she hated that age and only enjoyed her motherhood with her daughter when she got older (her daughter around 7 years old was right there listening to all of this). I actually loved having a newborn and I'd cry when I thought about her growing up, but every stage has it's perks and I don't cry about her growing up anymore, I just enjoy her now (and take lots of pictures). ;)<BR/>All that to say ... strangers with comments are worse than giving birth.. at least to me, but I'm also pretty shy and don't like talking to strangers anyway. You seem to be taking it much better than I do. :)Lynne'https://www.blogger.com/profile/02472779340527849300noreply@blogger.com
