my SO witnessed the true bond between mother and son today. As we were heading home, my son was crying endlessly in his carseat. I was getting frustrated because we were hitting every single red light. My SO told me to relax and I said "No you don't understand, when he's crying hes trusting me to respond and take care of his needs. It's been 20 min, I've never let him cry for this long." As I was saying this his cry was getting worse and I started crying too because I felt so bad. All I wanted to do was tend to my child. My SO thought it was sweet that I was crying and said I was going to make him cry too.
