&lt;b&gt;Favorite part of being a mom: &lt;/b&gt;Spending time laughing and playing with my kids instead of doing housework&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Least favorite part about being a mom: &lt;/b&gt;The growing pile of unfinished novels on my nightstand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Little known fact: &lt;/b&gt;As a perilous thrill-seeker and licensed skydiver, Rebecca previously though she had career potential as a jumpmaster.&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you so much for sharing your story with other moms and that your feelings, anger and greif were normal under the circumstances. I agree with Jeanne that you have probably helped countless women today -some who may be feeling some of your same feelings, maybe in different circumstances. &amp;nbsp;It is important for women to know that it is okay to ask for help and I am happy that you are feeling better. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

I thought I was crazy thinking I was postpartum, but why wouldn&amp;#39;t that make sense? It&amp;#39;s such a wonderful feeling that you have support when you need it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think it is great that you posted about this to share your experience with other moms. I bet you&amp;#39;re helping a lot of women today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take care of yourself!&lt;/p&gt;

(Which I know doesn&amp;#39;t make it any easier now.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And FYI: they often repeat the terrible twos more than once, too. :)&lt;/p&gt;

We are day care veterans and I sometimes think that &amp;quot;gut&amp;quot; feeling stays with you forever. You worry about them, sometimes beyond reason. Why? Because they are a part of you. Much like a limb. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m here to tell you that day care was a blessing for my children. They&amp;#39;ve grown up to be wonderful young people and they fondly remember their days in child care. Best of luck!&lt;/p&gt;
