I don't know too many people for whom there is never a struggle, financial or otherwise, and I think that life is defined by our challenges, and the struggle refines us. I just don't want it to affect her in the most basic way, for her basic needs. <br /><br />I also came back from the States with this idea that we should move to a community that is more appropriate for her and for me, but right now the idea of moving (and buying a place? Taking on a mortage?!) seems too overwhelming to me. So now I am a bit depressed that I want better for us, and the work situation is the limiting factor.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261212450148255826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488433810039574602.post-63506400414369430772010-05-17T17:42:15.176-07:002010-05-17T17:42:15.176-07:00It will happen, and it'll be all right. She...It will happen, and it'll be all right. She'll see you struggle. And because she'll be a nice girl, she'll want to help. And as she gets older you'll have to let her help, in appropriate ways, but not too much.Trust me, she'll come out a nicer girl for it, and someone else will appreciate that. Just don't worry aloud too much around her.Amy Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001791173242631714noreply@blogger.com
