I need large chunks of quiet to hear myself think. I need rooms to stay clean longer than 2 minutes after I clean them. I need to not be needed around the clock. "--<br /><br />Yep.

Most of my summer sucked with the exception that my son learned to swim so I got a little more freedom, not a lot. I, too, need the QUIET and when I don't get it I kind of function like a zombie. But also anonymous is right, we always feel like crap when we compare our kids but you don't really know what other families are going through. I hate going to Barnes and Nobles anymore where Lib loves to play with the train because the kids look at him like an alien has arrived to play beside them. It hurts. I envisioned fun summer with the children I would have, but LIFE had other plans for us. I am pretty much the caretaker.<br /><br />School is coming soon, yay!

Most just tell me. Only one mother is sad that school is starting again, because she "actually enjoys" being with her children. All other comments are in the tone of stressed out anticipation that it "can't start soon enough"! These comments come from parents of typicals and special needs kids.<br />School and your respite is almost here, Carrie. <br />Love.<br />-MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-65317906912666614262009-09-06T17:58:12.523-07:002009-09-06T17:58:12.523-07:00I really feel the same way.

She sucks the live out of whoever is around her, unable to contain herself, she requires others to do this for her. <br /><br />When I first got married and had small children, I imagined summers spent at the lake, renting a cabin, being idle. Life sure didn't turn out like that.<br /><br />You're not alone, my summer sucked big time too:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-3896623497424723442009-09-06T16:16:57.505-07:002009-09-06T16:16:57.505-07:00Thank you for this post.

I see it as a sign of strength that you are able to maintain awareness of your needs, even if you can't always get them met. It is the ones in denial, the ones who grin and say "fine" that risk losing their core.<br />-e-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-75420203590806338932009-09-06T16:10:27.864-07:002009-09-06T16:10:27.864-07:00bet they weren't all enjoying that. even typi...bet they weren't all enjoying that. even typical, those evenings can be painful witnessing the social dynamics of kids. <br />don't feel guilt or sad about your summer, you never know what's really going on with another family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-63523330385641465762009-09-06T15:54:52.315-07:002009-09-06T15:54:52.315-07:00Love.Love.Michelle O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221354521123541601noreply@blogger.com
