My 2 year old woke up screaming and I went in to try and comfort her... at first I was just telling her to go back to sleep then left the room because nothing would work until I decided to sit and rock her even though she didn't want to come with me. Eventually she gave up the fight and I started to rock her, and I just started to cry. I hate that I feel like I've been neglecting her since my son has been born... I feel like she got the shit end of the stick because I went through PPD with her & I never really connected with her the way I have my son and I feel so terrible. I hate myself for going through that and I feel in a big way it altered my way of parenting... I catch myself being irritated with her cry but not when my son does. It breaks my heart to feel the way I feel and I wish I didn't. I cried so hard with her in my arms and just ran my fingers through her hair. I feel like I've failed to give her the love I should've given from the start.. the type of love I feel I am giving my son that I should've gave to her when she was a newborn... i just need to vent. I honestly feel so terrible right now.

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
