And so I know that worry, I know that, you know, we can't help but wonder, you know, what will the future bring?
I think when I was in the thick of it I mostly focused on how we're gonna get through tomorrow or this afternoon.
Um and my husband was more sp you know, he took the role of worrying about the the greater future.
But um, you know, it's hard not to think about that when you're raising your kids, especially when they have differences.
Well, I think that before we have kids we have this
idealized notion.
least some of us do, those of us who step off the cliff and have a couple more.
That that the kids will, you know, more or less
enjoy being together and they'll play together and we'll have this wonderful harmonious family.
And
I think once we have more than one child, what we find is that we don't actually live happily ever after.
We live sort of conflictually ever after because everybody has different needs.
This one wants the window open and that one wants the window shut.
This one wants to sing, that one needs quiet.
This one wants to sit in your lap, the other one wants to sit in your lap.
So I think that conflict is actually sort of a part of life when you're living with a a group of people, especially when you have
people with such c different needs.
I think sometimes we have to change our expectation not from, you know, what am I doing wrong because the kids are fighting, but how do I use this as an opportunity to teach them how to resolve conflict in a peaceable way?
I think that's a much more realistic um frame for what we're doing when we have kids.
You know, of course when one kid is uh if your if your special needs kid is freaking out
