This is exactly what I needed to read today. I've been feeling like such a terrible mother lately not knowing what is wrong with my dd and mine's relationship since my son has been born and I think it's because I keep expecting her to be older than she actually is. She's going to be 3 in Feb. and just the other day I yelled at her for not holding the bread while I was putting butter on it while holding my son at the same time and I just slammed down the knife and yelled "I told you to hold it!" after it fell on the floor. The reason she didn't hold it well was because she didn't want her little fingers to get "dirty" with butter. (Which is so adorable!...but I didn't see that I just saw task, get it done, get her fed, and move on to the next thing on the list). Anyway - I just needed some peace and I printed out your reasons and am putting them all over the house. I've been missing sleeping with her and snuggling with her and I don't know why I'm not doing all of it still b/c I'll never get this time back. So thank you again! That's exactly what I needed today.
