I seriously want to strangle the inner-child.

In addition, kids have been irritating the hell out of me lately. I was telling T last week... my block is filled with kids... they are always playing outside... I used to come outside and sit with the little girls next door sometimes... they would ask me to bring out the mandalas that I keep for my patients... they wanted to color and talk with me.... now I feel like I could never deal with spending time with any kids.

I am such a stupid, %#@&#! baby.

I can really relate to these feelings, pinksoil...only, I struggle at times with my OWN children (2 & 5 yrs). As much as I absolutely LOVE and ADORE them, it's really hard to let loose at times and enjoy them.

For those of us who were essentially robbed of our childhood, I think it's only natural to have a level of jealousy for the innocence of those who do have that opportunity.

You are not stupid in any way.
