Parenthood
This last week was one of the most dificult I have experienced as a parent. Much to my suprise soon after I had my daughter I found that motherhood came very natual to me. I love being a mom and I was blessed with a very good baby. She really makes being a mom easy. But this last week a lot of things happened and I realized that when there are children involved any decision you make affects so many lives. Children touch so many peoples lives and they are so easy to love making it easy for people to become attached. A word of advice to those considering having children some day; do not have kids until you are ready to make someone else number one. You are no longer number one after having a child, they are your first thought anytime you consider making a change in your life. You have to be completelty selfless and do what is right for the child and that can sometimes be really hard. What you want and what is right can sometimes be completely different things. Now when I have to make a decision it is going to affect not only mine and my daughters lives but the lives of everyone close to her. No matter which decision I make for us there are going to be a lot of people involved and some will end up hurt. I feel like all of this is going to happen because of the decisions I have made in life.

This is very true. I completely agree with you on the making decisions will effect not only yourself, but your child(ren) and everyone close to your child(ren). I remember when I lived in Hazelwood, MO (North St. Louis, County), which was very close to my parents, approximately 10mins away. When my wife and I decided to get rid of our condo that we owned there and move back to Red Bud, IL (where my wife is origanaly from and all her family) it was a very difficult move for ME and my family (all from the St. Louis area) because of the distance that was going to be between us now. I understood once we moved how my wife felt living in St. Louis, with all of her family from the Red Bud area and the distance that was between them. It has gotten better. My children, wife, and myself still see my parents about once a week or every other week. It also was a big change for me to move from the "CITY" to the "COUNTRY" and vice versa for my wife. I understand now, how she felt then.
