Every parent will understand where I am coming from. Don't you just look at your sons and daughters sometimes and just thank God that they are here and in your life because they are so great? They are beautiful, funny, clever and just make your life so full. I LOVE being a Mum. My kids are just the best things ever.

That's such a beautiful thing to say! I'm not a mum yet, but I hope I feel the same when I am. You're making me quite excited actually! It's lovely to hear someone talking so positively about their children in a world full of complaining and whingeing!

Absolutely agree - even when they are driving me up the wall I am thankful for them! And one minute they'll be having a tiff with each other and the next the oldest will have the youngest on his lap and reading him a story. It really is an emotional roller coaster.
What really annoys me is when folk see me with my 3 boys and assume I'll be having another to try for a girl!! And when I was pregnant with the 3rd I got so fed up of folk saying 'you'll be hoping for a girl then?' I always replied that it was the baby that was wanted and we didn't care about the sex and so many seemed to have a problem with that. I don't know why! And I am not trying to kid myself - I have never once hoped for one or the other and I have not one moment of wistful thinking. (OK - maybe once when they came in with their collection of minibeasts - some of which were up the 2 year old's sleeve and I wondered what a wee girl playing quietly with a Barbie might be like!! But it's things like that that make the boys what they are and how can I be with them and not enjoy life?)
I couldn't be happier with my lot and I have never once wanted anything other than what we were blessed with. My family is complete as it is - there is nothing that could make it better. My boys are funny,bright,beautiful (and I have to say I am not bias - they really are!!!! :-) ) and motherhood has been the best gift ever.

This is the best question I have read on this site. The answers are all so great. I feel that I was born to be a Mom. My son was the best thing that ever happened in my life. He is 34 now, but he will always be my baby. He has brought so much happiness and joy to my life and it just goes on and on. He's now married to a wonderful lady and they have a 7 year old son and a 4 year old daughter and it is just like having him grow up all over again except that I just spoil the grandkids a lot more.

I completely know what you mean - before I had kids I never understood how someone could cry from being "so happy". But, I will admit I have done just that on a few occassions. And, no matter how bad of a day you may have the minute they fall asleep you forget all of the bad and see simply an angel sleeping in your house and wonder how God could've possibly chosen you, of all people, to care for such perfection. Thank the Lord for such blessings!

I completely agree I love being a father, Some of the things my son says just brightens my day, i couldn't imagine life without my lil' man beside me all the way. I love the way that in his eyes the world is so innocent, i pray he could think like that forever. fathering a child will umistakingly be the best thing i have and will ever do in my life.

Absolutely. It's amazing how your perspective changes after you've had a child. I went through all of my 20s and half my 30s convinced that I wasn't mom material and I liked my life the way it was. I had my son at 35 and I couldn't care less about what life was like before - he's great. And now i'm pregnant with my 2nd...

Oh Lord yes! SOmetimes it can be so over whelming but I think the good far out ways the bad. I think one of my favorites is when you caught them doing something and they look up at you with big eyes and say I love you mommy, okay how do you get upset then. Or at bed time when they are snuggled in all warm an kiss and hug you good night and tell you they love one mine always add see you in the mornin' mom. I love it and it really does pass so quickly. I htink I love it even more with the holidays coming. I have always eloved Christmas but it really is magical when you have little ones to share it with.

Amen to that. As frustrating they can be at times I know I am still amazed that this perfect little being came from me. To watch them discover the world, and with complete innocence is truly wonderful.
My favorite thing is when my little guy (who is almost 3) acts completely silly...he is a real comedian. He will come right in your face (noses will be touching) look at you in the eye, say "I wuv you Mommy" and then lick your face, and then run away laughing saying how funny that was.
Just to know that I had a part in creating this crazy little kid makes me all warm inside. Gotta love them.

I was 17 when I had my daughter and 18 when I had my son. Now they are 16 & 15 and the nicest people I know. When they come home from school/college we sit around the table talking about our days and my heart could burst I'm so proud of them. They are intelligent, caring and everything good.

My daughter is almost 4 months old and I completely understand what you are talking about. Sometimes I just sit and stare at her and am amazed that she is mine. I was so worried that I wouldn't feel very motherly towards her when I was pregnant, but as soon as she was born it all changed! It's so strange, but I truly can't remember what my life was like without her (and I don't want to).
