a slice of life with Miche
Posting as a means to vent into the void.
I've got loving, caring people in my life and am well supported by them.
Venting posts are temporary and will be removed in time.

I think, that you may be a stronger person than I, by far!
"not cut out to be a mom if I only have the one" ... "half-mom to two"
You're probably at least partly joking, but these statements both seem unnecessarily harsh. I bet you're a great mom, and I bet you'll still be whether you have another baby or not.
I'm on my fourth (and final) pregnancy. I think (hope) I'm a whole mom to all of them, in the same way I'm as much of a whole wife as pre-kids, or whole person, pre-marriage. I hope it's not really a competition between me and all the other moms who are happy being a good parent to one or a good parent to ten.
Hi Allison and welcome!
You raise some terrific points. And yes, the statements do sound harsh. I must do something about that inner dialogue of mine!
I know many moms who are absolutely "whole moms" to each and every one of their kids. I think for me right now, if we were to have another, I'd need significantly more help than I've got available to me. I already feel like I'm stretched pretty thin. I worry that I'd snap in two with two diaper wearing children in the house!
