"i am a people person. my dd is a people person. we are both natural nurturers. mothering comes v. naturally to me. nurturing i noticed in my dd around 18 months. however i would not have had a second child till dd was at least 4. even during the 'worst' times i had more compassion than frustration. i am a square peg in a round hole which adds to how i parent as a positive aspect." .
