That is EXACTLY how I feel every other weekend when I have to let my baby (2 yr old…how’d she get so big?) go to spend time with her dad. Nevermind he’s a son-of-a bitch that cheated on me while she was still growing in my tummy. I put on a brave face and tell her that she will have so much fun with her daddy and when she cries it breaks my heart. Damn kids.

[...] other day I read that lovely post by Miss Britt, and I have to say I couldn’t agree more with her. I’ve only been a mom [...]

This was beautiful and so touching. Sometimes I wish I could feel this too and I know that if I had children of my own I would but it’s not so easy.

I wish more parents loved and protected and raised their children with the love you have for yours. To me you are a role model and the mistakes are part of it and no matter how much you worry you might fuck them up, you won’t. And even if you ever do, it’s part of the process of growing up. Our parents didn’t do *everything* right either and I like to think we turned out fine and know more because of it. It has taught us how to treat the next generation.

*lots of hugs*

I need a tissue. Trying to remain stoic when your kids are crying is the hardest thing ever. Being a mom is awesome and sucks rocks all at the same time.

You are an amazing Mum because you let her go even though you wanted her to stay. It’s so hard to say goodbye to our little ones but it makes the day they return even sweeter. XXX

Similar incident happened this weekend, where N. started crying at about 10p.m. on Saturday night. It took *everything* I had not to drive an hour to pick her up.

Yes, being a mom is hard.

There was a time where I thought I might die when my son was away. It is a little easier now, but I have no idea how I’ll cope if he ever gets tired of cuddling with me.

So pushing something the size of a watermelon out your crotch isn’t the hard part? Check.

(Sorry, I just can’t think of something serious to say. It’s a sweet sentiment, and you always seem like a great mom. I still hope to experience it one day.)

While raising one special needs boy and one very interactive boy I adopted the 90 year old neighbor down the road as my new grandmother. I’d take her shopping and to the doctor and the senior center. I DOTED on her. The thing I loved about taking care of Thelma was I never had to worry about how she was going to turn out due to my over dotage. It was a nice outlet for someone who has Doting Overload and doesn’t want to OD her kids with too much DO, and ruin them, stunt them, prevent them from being able to GET THEIR OWN GLASS OF MILK when they’re, say, 30, and coming back home to visit. Always thinking down the road, when you’re raising kids, to the kind of adult you want them to be, yet respecting that they’re kids and still need you to bend so they don’t break.
