I am 21 with a 5 year old boy. I got pregnant at 15 and i wanted to make sure my son had everything in the world that a normal child would. that takes completing school to get a good job etc....I had to leave him with a babysitter(family) when he was 3 months to go back to school and have had to do that ever since in between college and working to support us. I try to spend every moment i have with him doing art, picnics, biking, whatever...but now my husband and I are planning to have a baby and i am now in a position where i will be able to stay home with that child for a year and buy all the wonderful things that i wanted to for my first. I end up feeling so guilty though because why should this child have what i couldn't give my first? will i end up having a different bond with the new one, is this fair, should i have made different choices? i am feeling so ashamed of all these thoughts and guilty about it all. any advice?
