We have 3 daughters,10.9 and 6 and there perfect in every way.
But there growing up to quick.They wake up in the morning and help themselves to a drink and a biccy,they no longer crawl into bed with us for a cuddle.They play in the garden with there friends and stay at nanny's the odd weekend.
They still need there mum and dad for meals and pocket money and days out like swimming and the swing park etc but i can no longer tell little fibs like ive been to the moon or flown concorde.
The eldest one is into make up and flashy clothes,the middle one is the same and the little one is not far behind.
I want to freeze them so they dont grow up anymore,
Help.

Be very careful - you look very close to being an abusive parent.

Know how you feel, I have a daughter too...
I agree some kids are over exposed to adult things far too early and the media conditions and targets kids to this end, because it sells stuff and people like you will buckle under the pressure and buy said stuff.
If you don't like what they do or what they wear then you could probably do worse than making sure it isn't a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Just try to be a good example...don't wear the kind of clothes you deem it inappropriate for your children to wear.
Don't expose them to stupid toys like Bratz, teen magazines (or in fact any women's magazines) do not let them get obsessed over throwaway pop culture and media rubbish. Be a good role model, kids need them and if you do not fill the role somebody else will.
Once you're teaching by example, they have no reason to call you a hypocrite, also- lay the law down if you have to and explain why you are doing it.
I hope that helps

kids grow up as fast as you let them. my daughter is 10 amd she has never shown an interest in make up, probably because i dont wear it. she is not a tomboy she is just an average kid.i agree with the little fibs etc, and im dreading it when they find out about santa, or not as the case may be.but you have to enjoy each age as it comes. when kids get older a closer friendship is formed, and you can do some really fun things together, you have a little more freedom as they dont depend on you as much. do things with them like jigsaws etc,but most of all the fun doesnt have to stop!!!! good luck.

the purpose of raising children and haveing children is to teach them abou the world and how to hold their own in the "real world" I was stareing at my son who is almost 2 and thing that he was growing up too fast, i still was looking at him like he was a helpless baby. Let them grow and be indapendant but always be there to catch them when they fall and help them become thier own adults. When they are older they will depend on you more, they are entering the stage of indapenance right now seeing how well they are with themselves since you were always there. I would just take it one day at a time and take a thousand pictures lol

Am sorry love there's nothing you can do about it, its so hard watching them grow up an drift away from the safety of our arms an going into the adult world, but try not to think of the things your going to miss but focus on the new exciting things that you will get to do with your girls! Like their first day at big school/college, their first date, their first kiss,their first boy friend, and eventually their wedding day! Its so magical! Oh and dont forget grand children! I cant wait! Yes you will always miss the old days but always look forward to the new! =]

You've made me feel a little guilty.
My daughter is a childish 8 yr old and I am always moaning at her to "grow up", I don't wish my time away from my children, but you've made me realise that she should be a child as long as she wants to be. PS I don't get cuddles in bed anyway - not since she learnt how to turn the TV on and use the remote!!

Life is change. You have to change with it. Soon they won't need you at all. Then they will want you to be a Grandpa.
Grow up yourself, get out and about, get a life of your own, and maybe you will even do something that will impress them. But don't do it for that, do it for your own satisfaction.
You cannot live a life through or for other people, not even tour own children. They are showing you the way.

I'm so sorry to tell you that you'll have to let them grow up. Remember how they were when young, hopefully you took many pictures, but look forward to watching them mature and take control of their lives. Everything that you taught them will be important & enjoy the vast new aspects of your children as they step out into the world.
They'll always need you and love you. Give them wings, not chains.

You don't need to do anything to them, you need to do something with you. Otherwise there will be a lot of misery. Children do grow up, teen years are sometimes difficult, but if you deal with it properly you end up with adult children who are still close to you.
If you fall out badly in the teen years they are sometimes lost to you for a long time. So just accept the inevitable, enjoy the changes, don't resent them

u cud shoot them and have them stuffed.. they wont grow any more then...
but really i think u just need to get used to the new situations.. everyone growns up.... im sure if ur mom kept trying to give u cuddles and expected u to crawl about u would feel very patronised.... u cud always stop their sweeties and pocket money until they promise to give mommy a little cuddle every day and let her do all mommy type stuff?? lol.. otherwise ur just gona have to adjust.. oh and confiscate their make-up.. they really ARE too young for that.
