I was scared she'd think the woman was her mum, that she wouldn't eat, sleep properly and that this would cause her to be unsettled at home. As it turned out, she had a great time, didn't sleep quite as much but she was happy. I had thought I'd spend the day worrying about her but it turned out to be fine, which is quite considering that I'd thought I'd fall apart at work!

And, as you say in your own case, stuff usually works out fine. But, still, I find it hard to let go. So glad I'm not the only one. :) I tend to overthink EVERYTHING.

I worry she may not know how to properly share with others. I worry she may be too dependent of me and Dad2Amara. I worry she'll be spoiled. But I have learned that those are honestly problems that can happen with only children and children with siblings. My daughter is one of the most caring individuals. I am so proud of her. And I've learned that it takes good parenting, not siblings, to raise a good child. I used to stress out about (and still occasionally do) my daughter being an only child.

I have learned over the years that after a certain point, no one really cares if they were breast or bottle fed, or, how old they were when they started kindergarten.
