Car rides are not fun with Sophie, either. She will be good for awhile but after that it's a big GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE fit of crying. These are the cries that break. me. down. and stir me up. We learned that if someone sits in the back seat with her, she is much calmer ad doesn't get upset and when she does all we have to do is talk to her and smile, she calms right down!
Children are resilient, mommys not so much. Which is why I could totally use a stiff drink and good conversation.
Nothing anyone says will prepare you for certain situations or help you handle the emotions that bombard you when hit with a situation like this. It's a total hands on, learn while you go, roll with the punches, type of thing. But you're a totally awesome mom and your doing perfect..duh!
