What do you tell your seven-year-old daughter when she comes up to you crying because there is silly putty stuck to her bear that she’s had since she was born? Yes, you heard me right…since she was born. I want to laugh sometimes, because I think it’s ridliculous for her to be crying over something so trivial. Too mean? Well, I don’t. Besides, it’s not Christ-like. I try to understand why she feels she needs it. But; however, I do find myself asking her why she’s crying over a stupid animal. I know, I shouldn’t use the word “stupid” but it just slips out. (Need to work on that one.) I just feel that her attachment to this bear is unhealthy for her, and that she needs to ”steer” away from the baby side, and start to grow up some and start acting like a young lady, instead of a little girl. I also think it would be better for her self-esteem.

Have you ever been so weighed down with something that it consumes your every waking, sleeping, moment? And, then when you try to shove it into the “trash bin” in the back of your brain not wanting to deal with it, that it won’t stay, but keeps coming back,(like that annoying energizer bunny), until you finally lose the battle and say, “Fine, you win! I’ll deal with you”? Well, that’s me right now! I have a decision to make, an important one, and it has turned into such a dilemma, because there are so many factors to think about…I call it the “having-another-baby-dilemma”!
