I am new to the internet and this board. My mother and sister -in-law found this web site for me. they realize all too well how much i need to speak with other parents in my situation....scared and confused.... i have a great endo but i am constantly second guessing myself and i have problems with discipline issues concerning my daughter. i never can make a decision dealing what is too sressful for my daughter. I can't but feel guilty when i yell or speak to her in a stern way. i know that this can backfire on me in the future ,(ex. raisng spoiled brat or a child with no respect.) But I really dont know what her little body can handle. her doctor tells me that i should just treat her as if i would any "normal" child. That is difficult for me ...she is my first. I also have an 18 month old who I treat much different than my 3yr old cah child. for ex. when my 3yr old was an infant i would never let her cry in her crib for fear that it was too stessful for a cah child. with my younger i would let her cry for 40 minutes straight till she understood that her crib was sleeptime. so now i have a3yr old with horrible nighttime habits.. i would truly appreciate any advice on similar situations... thank you from the bottom of my heart.....alexmom ne
