When my youngest was born 3 1/2 months early and I thought he was gonna die.
Either that, or when my sister in law 'lost' my oldest when he was almost 3 for 1/2 hr. We had the police and neighbors scouring the neighborhood. He was asleep under the pillows of our bed. ;)

Everyday! Parenting is not an easy job. I have an 18 yr old whose g/f is having a baby anyday. A 17 yr old who has got a loser b/f and 2 younger ones who I worry will follow in their older siblings footsteps. What can I do about these problems? Nothing. Be there to love and support them and try to guide them in the right directions.The hardest part of parenting is the worry of losing a child

I guess my hardest parenting moments are when I know my children are wanting to do something I KNOW could lead to danger for them. In fact, I am having a hard parenting moment right now.
My 16 year old son, who has just recently gotten his Drivers Permit has asked me for the last week if he could go RACING with some friends from school on Fridays after school.
These kids like fast cars and have very little ON ROAD experience.
I know my son is gonna do this, even though I have told him NO.
Sure I could pick him up from school early and prevent him from going out with his friends, but sooner or later he would find a way around me and go racing.
Have I told him how dangerous it is? How fatal it could be? Not to mention that if he is caught, he will lose his permit and possibly not get his licsense until he is 21 or begs a judge to give them to him.
I know that he just wants to experiment, he just wants to see how fast the cars will go.
I know that no matter what I tell him, no matter how much I instill in him, he must make his own choices, live by his own mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Hopefully he wont go out with his friends, hopefully if he goes he will have enough sense to ask to get out and watch the race from the side of the road. Hopefully, hopefully hopefully he will just take my advice and ignore the temptation of fast cars.
Driving a fast car with no experince is just as deadly as someone who knows how to drive it that fast.
Just as soon as you think you have it figured out and you think you know all of the possible pros and con, you find that for all you knew, there was something that you missed. Sometimes its something that you can walk away from and learn from, sometimes you cant it costs you your life and or someone elses life.
I have hard moments at different times, and right now is one of these times.
Maybe I will just call the police station and let them know that a bunch of kids are racing up the road.. maybe they will go check it out. Maybe they can place the fear of GOD and maybe JAIL into my son.

My hardest parenting moment was when my daughter moved out.

waking up with them in the bed with my husband and I and my husband works long odd hours so my kids go with every where I have noone to watch them so going anywhere with 5 kids are my hardest moments.

The hardest ones for me are when my kids are hurting...whether emotionally or physically. I have five married children. When I see them having problems in their lives it just tears me apart. I hurt so bad for them when they hurt. I always thought when they were grown my worried would be over...how wrong I was!

When you've got to watch them go through some sort of crisis (emotional or otherwise) and there is nothing you can do (or they will let you do) to help them.
