Yes, but people age, things change.. things don't sometimes work out exactly the same as they were before.

It is hard if you have done it for one daughter though and not the other!

You've done the most difficult part, so don't feel guilty at all.

Its natural to want and need time to yourself.

You have absolutely no need to feel guilty, don't let anyone try to imply that not wanting to childmind means that you love your family less, because that is just not true.

Refuse to accommodate her. Don't make yourself miserable.
