karen - maybe you should come over to the breast feeding support forum. Barb is over there to offer great advice and the girls over there are all in the same boat. there is also a forum for gender dissapointment here on BB as well.

I think its lovely that we are so passionate about things but sometimes when are views are read by others, they dont come accross the way that you feel. Bit of a double edged sword.

We really need to be understanding of each other's feelings, whether we are mum's already or first time mums. There are a few girls here suffering from PND. I myself wouldnt feel comfortable if I made someone feel worse about their mothering skills.

I personally get upset with simple little things as my little man has cerabal palsey. It is very hurtful to read how well everyones children are doing when you know your child is delayed...yet I know that no-one is trying to hurt me and its my own stupidity that allows me to feel this way. Its then that I step away and go into other sections in respect to the other girls. Everyone here has been so supportive of us and I want to thank each and every one of you. I have days were I read posts wrong and could go of the deep end at the poster but I know my better judgement that the girls have written what they have out of support not to be hurtful or tackless.
