Poor Hammie also refers to <I>herself</I> as a tiny, furry little squeaky mammal too, which is way off the mar- oh no, wait a minute... <br /><br />Haha. I'm still upset over the time she called me a dick. And a shit. And a wan- oh, I could go on and on. She's Australian. They're terribly uncouth fuckers. What can you do?<br /><br />And you call yourself Anonymous too, so there's probably a lot of casual name-calling going on that isn't really accurate or intended. We know she loves Bratty more than her own hamster self, and that's the bit that matters most of all.Nick McGivneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603579300515543458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-6207026946188611182009-05-23T02:19:09.683+01:002009-05-23T02:19:09.683+01:00Why do you refer to your daughter as "Bratty" on t...Why do you refer to your daughter as "Bratty" on the blog.

I agree with everyone: hindsight is wonderful, we do the best we can with what we have at the time, and YES, you are a wonderful parent.<br /><br />To me, it sounds like a little dose of "mourning the children you COUlD have had", and that is so healthy every now and then. And, as you say, if you can use your experience to help and support other parents, THAT makes up for any mistake along the way, because it is all part of progress for the common good.Nan P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15048214158269327225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-71729035263800592532009-05-19T12:51:00.000+01:002009-05-19T12:51:00.000+01:00Gosh Hammie....great post.

But, I reckon, none more than parents of Autistic children. Simply because a lot of decisions we make are based on what's available, our location and the country's economic condition at the time. That is a CRAP position to be put in.<br /><br />It appears that we're lucky. The decisions we made turned out to be the right ones. So far , that is...not one to be complacent me! And even though my child is (extremely!) verbal I still, to this day, look wistfully at 2, 3 and 4 year olds and note how my guy wasn't age appropriate at that time. But, like all of us, I wouldn't give him back!!<br /><br />So, I'm with Belette Rouge....you are the best parents your children could wish for. xx Jjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-87408245781910415422009-05-19T08:35:00.000+01:002009-05-19T08:35:00.000+01:00Great post as always.Keep on post,you inspired a l...Great post as always.Keep on post,you inspired a lot of person,specially the blogger who support you always.Have a good day.;D<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.solofoodtrip.com/" REL="nofollow">Travel and Living</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17160228370549404217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-34660142608023974822009-05-19T07:20:00.000+01:002009-05-19T07:20:00.000+01:00I saw a MD today and he asked me if I wanted a Ch...I saw a MD today and he asked me if I wanted a Chinese baby. He had this couple in his practice and they didn't want the baby. I said no immediately and then all the way home I thought "Why did I say so no? Can I change my mind?" All evening long that beautiful Chinese baby has been haunting me. I am not sure how that relates to your beautiful and wistful post but it is what I thought of when I read of the little baby in the jumpsuit.<br /><br />And, I'll have you know that I believe that "perfect mothers" do more harm than mothers who make mistakes and can learn from them. I think you are a perfectly imperfect mother for your kids. They are lucky to have you. You are lucky to have them( but you know that).<br />xoxoLa Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-34542177472539022972009-05-19T02:38:00.000+01:002009-05-19T02:38:00.000+01:00Such a nice post Hammie,this is a very inspiring a...Such a nice post Hammie,this is a very inspiring and a good thoughts to share with us.And we thanks you for that.=) Have a great day ahead Hammie.=)<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.soloden.com/" REL="nofollow">A Writers Den</A><BR><A HREF="http://julesmariano.com/" REL="nofollow">The Brown Mestizo</A>Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191804868325599262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-91744701304210957412009-05-19T01:39:00.000+01:002009-05-19T01:39:00.000+01:00Hindsight is 20/20, as they say.

I often wonder if I would have been a better parent to my infant and young child if I hadn't been totally traumatized by the birth complications / completely whacked by PPD and anxiety. But I can't live in that head space because I can't change the past and, I have to imagine, it's led me to my (occasional) parenting insights today. You have helped, not only your own kids, but so many other families with your trial and error awarenesses. That's worth a lot.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-11340829747558757912009-05-18T23:53:00.000+01:002009-05-18T23:53:00.000+01:00Your thoughts are my thoughts exactly, if we only ...Your thoughts are my thoughts exactly, if we only knew what the future holds the world would be so perfect, when we make important decisions we believe at the time its the right one for us but unfortunately for us it hasn't been an easy ride we have made plently of mistakes along the way thanks for sharing your thoughts it helps to know we're all in this togetherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-90728397482139338782009-05-18T23:22:00.000+01:002009-05-18T23:22:00.000+01:00that's what I lot of us think a lot of time!
