@OP

1. Who said hardship and blessing are mutually exclusive.
2. Your entire childhood life was training for parenthood, how may children can be heard saying "when I will be big..." or "when I will be a tatty/mommy..."
3. This is a deals site, why is the perfect place to discuss this?
4. You now have a child, do the best you can (within your abilities) for her. If you're not sure you can handle any more, consult your LOR.
5. For your own mental health, focus on the things about your daughter that make you happy/proud etc.
6. BH you don't know how tragic it is for people who don't have children. Just like they don't know what your child-rearing difficulties are, so too you don't know theirs.

An that was when he knew his descendants would be wicked, and G-d told him that isn't his problem and he must have children anyway (or he will die).

Yes, she has a pretty big following and supposedly it actually works (but I have not personally verified it).

My wife and I saw it a week ago and started listening out, it sounds interesting and makes sense, wonder if it translates to real life.

Always admired people who are able to get rich off a mishegas.  The trick is to take something that no one can can disprove.

(interesting choice of thread btw)
If you don't care why would you comment?

Funny that you mentioned that, here is what I found in my research:
Quote from:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Dunstan#Criticism
Linguistics experts point out that Dunstan's hypothesis has not been subjected to rigorous testing or academic scrutiny.[4] The Dunstan company had, at one time, developed a clinical trial plan with Brown University researchers to test its claims, but abandoned it for consumer surveys and small-group observations in order "to hasten the development of a system that could be used by parents," skipping rigorous testing to go straight to market.[5]
An orange (if not red) flag IMO.

Do you want to really appreciate the gifts that your children are?

Talk to anyone who has R'L lost a child. You'll stop complaining very quickly......

This weekend's story was from the most awful I've ever seen (Also happened to one of the nicest families that I know)
