My older daughter often says I treated her much differently than I did her brother and sister -both younger than her -and she's right, I did that! Why? Because with her I learned from mistakes I made and tried not to repeat too many of those with her siblings! And today, with my youngest daughter and her two small children living with me, I'm back on the learning track with small children once again! Oh and by the way, I'm loving it and enjoying this trip around even more than the first three!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-41252809071620889432010-11-20T10:21:57.445-06:002010-11-20T10:21:57.445-06:00Well put Lori!

You have written a very humble post, it shows your growth and wisdom. <br /><br />For me the toughest part is being a grandparent now and allowing my daughter to make parenting mistakes and also live choice mistakes. My errors and experience show me her mistakes, I have to be strong enough to allow this happen for her growth. Good parents don't want their kids to get hurt but know getting hurt is for the best. I monitor what is going on for the safety of the babies just as you do, nothing bad has happen and I am greatful for this. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!!!!wolfie185https://www.blogger.com/profile/08113710218994046562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-38797592738980171512010-11-20T09:51:37.532-06:002010-11-20T09:51:37.532-06:00I applaud your wisdom.

A wonderful ge...Wow, that's touching! Amazing!<br /><br />A wonderful gentleman, a friend, who I also buried long ago, talked about having children when he and his wife were young. "We kinda grew up with our kids," he used to say. Just as you have, and have described so wonderfully. <br /><br />I'd love to see that mission statement, too.<br /><br />One added thought. Our two children will soon be in their 40s. And they are still our children, no matter how adult they may be. And we still love them.<br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-54031459048322325412010-11-19T21:24:05.090-06:002010-11-19T21:24:05.090-06:00you know there is a lot fo wisdom here that expect...you know there is a lot fo wisdom here that expectant moms should really hear...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-62812823863589940282010-11-19T20:58:53.835-06:002010-11-19T20:58:53.835-06:00Hi Lori,
