I know what it is like for a child to live in a hospital. My daughter has been in and out of a children's hospital half her life. She almost died last October and November. TOday, she is bad behind on her development. It's stressful!

I agree with you because when we do spoil our children too much they begin to expect it rather than appreciate the things we do for them. I am a mother of 3 girls and I love them dearly but I tell you they have been teaching me how to be a mom and how children will test you and your patience.
