Mom of four, Grandma of two here. And just yep. I have a chronically ill child as well (Cystic Fibrosis) who wasn't diagnosed until she was on her deathbed at 3 1/2 years old. Nobody ever told me I could have anything but a perfectly healthy child. Mine are all doing well right now, but they will most certainly experience the extreme highs and lows, which I can't help but experience with them. I'm not sure it's a very nice thing to do, bringing children into this god forsaken world, regardless of whether we want them.
