It lessened when I realized that God loves my son more than I do and that my child could still have great experiences even in daycare. He was creating bonds with people that would help influence him and my job was to make sure they were good influences. I wish you the best of luck!

I'm worried that I'll have to follow that same path, though I would love to be a stay-at-home mom. My husband is still in school though and I think I'll have to have something to help support us while he's doing that. <a href="http://www.donnaddavis.com/overcome-guilt/" rel="nofollow">http://www.donnaddavis.com/overcome-guilt/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353264142485473874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405342671397560954.post-35767341245666107822012-08-14T17:48:55.783-06:002012-08-14T17:48:55.783-06:00Hi Angelbaby,
I am not sure there is a cut and dr...Hi Angelbaby,<br /><br />I am not sure there is a cut and dry answer for that question. Each of us have endured our own type of pain through our experiences. In my opinion, the hurt comes from your desire to have what they have. Your regret that you ended up in a bad situation that didn't seem fair. Remember too that every couple has their ups and downs and deals with their own problems. Just because someone looks happy doesn't mean they are. Still pray for them, and I have found that praying for a seemingly or genuinely happy couple helped me to finally get to a point where I could honestly be happy for them. I am thankful to God that there are still great examples of being loving husbands and loving wives out there for our children to learn from. <br /><br />It is hard to know why we were the ones who were placed in these situations, but there are many blessings to be had even in a single parent environment. Find your support system with friends or family members and cherish every moment with your kids. Be still and let God embrace you as you travel this journey. <br /><br />Thank you for posting this question and hopefully others answer as well!Meg Lovetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734373011347584314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405342671397560954.post-24359134855992915462012-08-14T14:06:07.950-06:002012-08-14T14:06:07.950-06:00Can someone help me with this one?

I have a 7 year old daughter and she has been In daycare since she was 2. Now she is in the second grade she goes to the after school program. I hate that I can't come to the parties at school all the time like some parents. I am grateful that God did give me wonderful people to work with who understand that I am a single parent and when she is sick Mommy is the only one who can make her feel better. Thank you for your blogs, I look forward to reading them.Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405342671397560954.post-28793763694316973252012-08-08T06:13:43.569-06:002012-08-08T06:13:43.569-06:00Hugs to you Vicki!

He is so good!! Things are rough a lot of the time and it is a comfort to know that we are not alone. God is always with us and He even shows us others who are facing the same challenges so that we can be a comfort to one another! :)Vicki :)noreply@blogger.com
