[QUOTE="juliabohemian, post: 174094, member: 5566"] Well when we had our first -the difficult child- she never slept as an infant. She wouldn't nurse. I thought there was something wrong with me. No she just wanted way more milk than I could make in time for her to drink it. Even with formula she only slept a few hours at a time. At 18 months when my husband and I are staying up until 11pm with her, someone actually points out to us that kids that age normally have a more aggressive sleep regimen. Really? I'm baffled. When she was 2.5 the second child comes. She's an angel. By the time she is sleeping though the night I am STILL getting up at least once a night for the other one. She had to be rocked to sleep until she was 3. Then she had night terrors for several months at age four -I had them too. Then she wouldn't potty train until she was a few months shy of kindergarten. Nothing wrong with her physically. She would admit to being too lazy to bother. She'd pee on the sidewalk. I'd ask her why and she'd say she was busy. Of course she did that with number 2 also. So when the easy child potty trains flawlessly after three days at the age of three and a half, it makes me think -why the hell is my kid like this? My mother (who I believe also has a Borderline (BPD)) although we'll never know since she'd never actually see a mental health professional or trust anyone's judgement outside of her own -used to tell me that she hoped I had a kid just like me. My kid isn't [I]just[/I] just like me. She's worse. Way worse. I don't want to believe this is some kind of punishment from God since that defies most new testament dogma. But there are days that it sure feels that way. [/QUOTE]
