ChadTower:

It sounds like you're beating yourself up because I do the same thing.  I had to force myself to let certain things go if they weren't as perfect as I'd have liked but also weren't of any long term consequence.  Took me a while to figure that out.

Of course, with experience, it doesn't necessarily get easier.  The usual trend is for attention to detail like that to decrease with each successive kid.  It usually doesn't get better.

Probably there's a bit of that.  Thanks for the vote of confidence.

 I remember vividly when I was 5 in Kindergarden,  The teacher came over and Slapped
me across the face, and yelled at me.  It stung badly, and I cried for some time.

 I of course, was a little impatient at the time, and was pounding on the desk. 
I wasnt really angered.. It was more like a joke thing.  You know, repeating what you
see on tv type of thing.  At that age, I really didnt understand what was going on.  I
developed a bit slow, much to do to with parental neglect.

 I was embarrassed, and never told anymore.  Then again, my Father was a far
worse terror than the teacher ever could be.  The things he did to me and the other
kids would have gotten him jailtime had anyone caught him or had my mother had
a spine or care for us.

 I think back to it now... and all she had to do is scold/explain to me verbally and
Im sure I would have stopped.  There was no need to belt me across the face.

You can't compare what you did with a minor thing to what you might do with a major thing.

Since your incompetence hasn't been an issue yet, I think you'll both be okay.

I just mean the warning signs could be exactly the same for something serious.
