Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I've raised three sets of children, two each generation beginning with being the surrogate for my working mother from age 11. I walked my sisters everywhere they had to go until I became a chauffer at 16. While raising the grands, I was grousing to my mother about how sick I was of hauling kids around. One of them needed to be at a school for kindergarten open house. I told my mom " I've been doing this since I was eleven! " And she said to me " She is five years old and she's been doing it since September. " She was kid #6 for me, but she wasn't part of the process with the first five like I'd been. It's all in our perspective, kindergarten or MGB. What is new and overwhelming to one is old news and obvious manual dogma to the more experienced. The challenge for me as a post-op is to remember that every newbie is New. I may have answered the same question a bzillion times, but the newbie wasn't here to see it until number bzillion and one. Sometimes I just pass to other post-ops when I feel overwhelmed by the sameness of a question, or think I might not respond with proper perspective. I type a lot of responses I never post. That's why we need all the post-ops we can get here, to share the load and be sure every newbie gets the fair attention the " baby of the family " deserves. MHO as always!
