Ten years ago we decided to wait to send our children to school--they would have been the youngest in their classes. I have fretted over this for the entire ten years, especially since my oldest is not challenged academically in school. Last month a difficult situation caused us all to realize that he is in a very good place right now, exactly where he is. Now about the other child... <blockquote>Yes, <a href="http://lizsupdate.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Liz</a>, that's it exactly. You feel almost as if you're in the right place in the universe, and you were so wise afterall. But are we wise? Or I wonder if we just grow to fit our solutions. </blockquote> I understand exactly what you’re talking about.

Yes, Liz, that’s it exactly. You feel almost as if you’re in the right place in the universe, and you were so wise afterall. But are we wise? Or I wonder if we just grow to fit our solutions.

((((hugs))))) I personally think that pausing and indecisivness are better than absolute dominant dogmatism that leaves no room for improvisation and compromise, as your kids get better you'll likely actually give them some breathing room to contribute to the decision making in their lives, which is not something to be hard on yourself for, but rather the benefit of your flexible nature :) <blockquote>That, was good. <a href="http://wifemothermaniac.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Thanks</a>. </blockquote> We all find ways to be hard on ourselves as mothers.

That, was good. Thanks.

The power of indecision - the worst thing of all is not doing anything - then attrition takes over. ;) I wish I had that smile - alas, I worry too... Many of us feel this way.

Well, a little easier. What I've never come to terms with are the lose-lose situations where whichever way you jump, someone gets hurt. But you can't not do something. Usually.

It was very comforting & sounds very familiar...kind of like...oh, me! I pray a lot for wisdom and for God to protect them (and me) from my mistakes. Especially the ones I think are great ideas at the time. Things always work out the way they are supposed to, not how I always want them to, but the way they are supposed to.
