imagine how confusing and traumatizing it is for the kids whose parents lost custody/gave them up (not adoption early on, Iโm talking they knew it was their parents then their parents suddenly arenโt around anymore)... then see that same parent have more kids. I canโt imagine.
I find it hard to be affectionate towards anyone but my child which is so weird because I grew up being such a touchy/feely/lovey person and I donโt even know when it changed.
I never realized how thankful I would be for a best friend that doesnโt care Iโm a mom now. She never suggests getting a babysitter so we can go out. Sheโs always right there pushing the stroller or carrying the diaper bag๐
