I think it's totally normal, but mine is actually opposite. I am a little obsessed with my newborn, to the point that I feel somewhat guilty for my toddler. I think I did feel similarly towards the first, but he was a much more...

I did file my FAFSA, and was given some grant money, and then an option for a subsidized student loan and then an unsubsidized student loan. Combined, it's about $1000 short. I'll talk to the Financial Aid office at the school and...
