E.B.
I am a working mom of 2.5 (due in September). My oldest is 4, young one 18mos. I feel bad at times because I am not available for every little thing my babies do, but I find that "for me" I am a better mom because I can get away and appreciate the time we have together. I have been married for 7 years, same partner for 12. He is uncomfortable with the baby stage, but has opened up and become a much more interactive dad these last two years.
I like to be able to vent, get information or insight I may not have thought about. But, be careful, this site can be judgemental. You can post "ideas for a birthday party" and some poster will have something negitive to say about having birthday parties in the first place. I asked about daycare and gave a lot of detail without writing too much and had so many people hastle me about considering another... then within a month, the provider said, "I am phasing out" which made me realize I was on track to begin with. Just watch out for the judgement. Otherwise, I find it interesting to read other people's stories and sometimes the blogs are quite entertaining.
I agree with the healing when answering questions at times too!
