Enjoy your children.

lexiw by lexiw Young Parent(December 2006) (rank 9th)

I have had a friend tell me repeatedly that she does not want her child. The child is to much trouble for her. She can't handle him, She hates him and so many other things. It really saddens me to here these things. I love being with my kids and

if they are away from me for more than three days then I start to loose sleep.

The sound of children playing and laughing is one of the best sounds in the world but obviously not everybody feels the same. If I could have my friends child on a fulltime basis I would but at the moment it just isn't possible.We do have him come stay with us often though and at first years ago he had violent ways of doing things but I havn't had a problem from him in years because he knows my rules and he agrees with them. He is my angel amn he is twelve now and I really think it is sad that his mum does not even try to enjoy him at all.

I know if something happened to him then she would be sad but I also think she would feel relief and that is devastating to me. She cares more about her cheating boyfriend than her own kids.

I enjoy my children and want to be with them always, My husband has to keep reminding me that they need to be let go so that they can grow up and enjoy life with people other than me. I guess I know this I just want it to last as long as possible. I cried when I got the enrolment forms for my eldest to go to high school. I will always enjoy my children no matter what.

I have seen parents who have lost children and I don't know how they survive. I want to enjoy every minute with my children. You never know what might happen in the future so enjoy your children now just in case.

I feel so sorry for this little chap. My kids are now age 30,  26 and 21 and i still love having them around miss them when they not here and I enjoy every min i have with my grandkids age 4 and 3 and i would feel real sad without them all.

i couldn't handle being away from my daughter for more than a day and a half or even a day. When hubby takes her out for the day, that's fine, and then after about 4 hours i start to feel lonely, and get bored as i haven't got my daughter to keep me amused.

on Loan
 I believe all children are on loan they are not ours but leant to us to teach us and love us and us to do the same for them. I myself treat every day as it is my last with them. Because god forbid someting happens to them or me it just could be I WANT NO REGRETS  If that makes sense hehe. Enjoy them when they are young too because the day comes when they come in to peer pressure and you are no longer number one in their life be it to girlfriend boyfriends or just plain friends. Enjoy every second of every day !!!!!! You just never know when the loan will end.
Cheers
Angie

I feel so sorry for this woman,But more so for this little chap.Not every-one loves their children more than life itself,I wonder why they have them if they are such a bother to them.I have lost my son due to  my leaving him with his Dad,those who have read my piece Sorry..... will understand why.That is the worst thing to ever happen to me.....my heart breaks all over again when I wake each day.My little girl is the only reason I keep going.I dread the day she starts school(I know it is for her best interests)So many people don't understand why I don't want breaks from her.I literally can't wait for her to wake from her nap each day,as I miss her just for those few hours.I think because I lost my Billy I just cherish her and am so appreciative of having her in my life.Don't get me wrong I don't hover over her like a blow fly,I just love watching her (unbeknown to her)hearing her naughty cheeky giggles when she thinks she has been up to no good.I encourage her to go off and play and to be independent,this is very important too.Lexi I wish this person you speak of would wake up and smell the coffee,she doesn't know what she is missing.Great article regards Merle

I have been trying to get her to for so long now and it is people like you I want her to talk to so she can see the pain and aguish that parents who have lost children feel. She hasn't as yet checked minti out all though I have sent her the link a number of times.
