Mother of one... or two

When we had only one child we couldn't see how we could even handle another. Then our second came at the most unexpected time and everything worked out. Then I got a call asking me to be a foster parent. I agreed with out even thinking how it would affect my family. I can say everything fitted neatly like a puzzle. It always does.

I'm a man, and a grandfather now. Based on my experience, it's not just the woman and prospective mother who should prepare and adjust. It should be planned and prepared for with the husband, since raising a family and the rearing of children are a husband-and-wife undertaking. How do you refrain from thinking that a child is the best child in the world? That's difficult to answer, but each child is a treasure by him/herself, with unique abilities, talents, and skills. It is possible that you will have a favorite, but you should not show that favoritism to one child if you have other children, and that favoritism should not lessen or deprive the other children of your love and care as a mother.

Hello! Welcome to mylot and I hope you enjoy it here. I am a mother of three. Your question is hard to answer. Hmmm, I don't have favoritism in each one of them. I attend to each them to what their needs are. When we are in dining table which are one of the times that we sit together, I talk to each one of them about their activities in school, etc..

Each child is different and you love them all the same just different ways. I have had this told to me by so many other mothers too and it seems to be just right. You adjust to the life it's more gradual than you think and yes it's hectic, but their stagard at least 1 to 2 years apart it would just ok.
