Absolutely - FIRST OF ALL, be kind to yourself. Kids are humans too you know, and will understand (even tragedy, touch wood, is known to foster ability to connect with others)

By all means, if you are. Some people are just not, which induces guilt - and they'd prefer to stay lazy and make the guilt go away instead.

So why in the world do you have a cat then? I never understood why people complicate their own lives - to add a few hairs to you young one's diet???

This is stupid - as long as you ACTUALLY tried you'd never feel guilty about failing. Get rid of the stupid dogs, keeping up with the jones and idiotic media you clearly try to be in line with. Be a mother - care is enough. And yes, it won't be about you after you give birth - how retarded does a woman need to be to…
