Does having a set of 'already launched' kids reasure you about the younger ones?
And I have to admit, that much is true. I am calmer and not so quick to panic with issues this time around.
I do have to say, I am in a better position (older and wiser) to make sure that her needs get met, and advocate if need be. Having two older ones is reasuring in that it allows me to "not be so tough on myself", since I have living proof that you can make some mistakes while your kids are growing up, and they still turn out to be responsible, caring, productive members of the family & society.
