This is soo interesting Laura... I'm sorry to hear the struggle for you. I
always have the opposite going on.
After relatives (usually with children) leave I feel so happy my children are who
they are....
It is hard to answer the questions about why my son, who is 8 isn't reading much
yet. I am always happy to see them go so I can look at my children from my own
eyes, and I know they are wonderful human beings...which is my goal!
