Oh hon...

I often thought maybe I was doing the wrong thing, it wasn't done much when I had my first 12 years ago!!!

But the rewards are great. I have great, happy, independant children that we have a great relationship with. You are doing the right thing for your family. Things do get easier, but I'll warn you, me and Ad have a 2 yr old and Harmony in our bed at night!!! But we love it....
