So...How long do I let her cry before I move on?

[Sarah]

Sarah I can totally relate to you. My almost 6 year old gives me a run for my money everyday. He is far more work than the 5 little ones put together!!!

Thanks alot for saying this!

I feel so bad when I say this, but it is true, he is an energy drainer! And it is not because he moves too much. He is so charming, nice, intelligent, funny. But he is and has always been a crier! Life is unfair to him!

At some point (about a year ago), I had to go in his room at night, sit down on a chair and look at him sleep. I wanted to look at him serenely, and feel only my love for him instead of the annoyance I was feeling towards him all day long!

Hard to love!

I kind of hoped it would get better growing up...

Anyway, thanks!
