With my oldest I was a stay at home mommie with a touch of the hippie thing going on. Broke as shit, husb truck driver. I read this book called. " the family bed". Big mistake...i wanted to have oldest sleep with us but husb said no way.
But everything else with oldest ....he lived in the carrier pouch thing, i never left, cuddled continuously, breast fed until he is almost 2...
Then youngest came along..getting married soon....was at a totally different time in my life...daycare, not terribly happy in marriage (at that moment in time) , stressful career, she was looking back emotionally neglected...cause I was deeply depressed and in survival mode.
I am here to tell researchers the bottom line after having 3 raised so differently... Like everyone else's kids i know, they are all great kids and at the same time equally are all very capable of being a major pain in the ass. I think it's like most everything else in life, a balance is ideal...but if you stay within the lines of not being totally batshit crazy, they will turn out ok.
