This was so well written, so many moms experience this and it is not uncommon at all. My sister had a very similar reaction and it was tough but they got through it and I really liked this chapter a lot too. Well done.
Author's Response: Thanks, I am glad it came across as realistic. Even with their brood of children I always want it to be as realistic as possible.

I actually love a little angsty sad Jim and Pam, especially if it was written well, which this was =) So yeah fluff is always good, but you're right, life is not always perfect.
But your fics are hehe.
Moreeee :)
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you :) The positive feed-back is great and I am so glad you're liking the series :)

I felt like I was just talking to my best friend after she had her baby, haha. It was the same situation - she was convinced she was horrible with kids, and when her son wouldn't stop crying when he was a newborn, she lost it! So, needless to say, I thought this was really well done :) It was definitely hard to watch as she struggled with first time motherhood and I can totally see Pam acting the same way. It's a lot more realistic to see the struggles than a perfect pregnancy and a perfect baby who never cries and no post-partum anything.
So, I liked it, lol. Keep it going, this was great :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I just felt like after Take Your Daughter to Work Day, it was pretty clear Pam wasn't comfortable with kids, you know? I think she felt more at ease thinking about kids with Jim as opposed to Roy just based on little comments here and there since they've been together. I didn't want her to come across as too crazy so I am glad this worked for you!
