We had a long stretch when the children were in bed early enough that my husband and I could actually watch an entire movie. Uninterrupted. Still, I've enjoyed each stage for its own challenges and triumphs.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-20619049606754355522013-06-18T11:40:59.188-04:002013-06-18T11:40:59.188-04:00This is fabulous.

Glad I am not alone in the guilt-tripping. :-)<br /><br />Linda, we were talking about this just this morning, that when they are babies you can meet their needs almost every time.

When you are just readying for bed, & the child shows up at 11pm or so, saying, "let's talk, Mom". Hard to say no, but... I think it is a push-pull, and at least you know some of the songs, Laura. Even with my kids grown, sometimes there is a little guilt trip-goes with motherhood maybe? Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
