Do you think it's hard to watch you kids grow up?

Question

I just want my boys to stay 2 and 4 forever! I find this hard! any advice thanks

Answer 1

Savor it. Enjoy it all. Take lots of pictures and videos. They sure do grow up fast. 2 and 4 are hard ages for most parents, the kids are a lot of times just awful. You must have some pretty great kids. I do to. Do as much with them as possible, even if it is laying on the floor coloring. Take the time to take in every little thing that they do. You can't stop them from growing up but you can have lots of memories when they are grown. Mine are 7 and 8. I have watched them become more independent and they are developing into their own little people. It is really too cool. Allow them to be who they are, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or them selves. Let them climb and hang upside down and be confident in themselves. It is hard to watch your kids grow up, but it is the most rewarding thing that you will do in your lifetime.

Answer 2

I have an 8yr. old, a 2 yr. old and a 4 month old. It's hard to watch them grow up because there is so much out there that could hurt them (plus they're so darn cute!), but every age has it's rewards. I look back on the days when my oldest was a baby fondly, but he's also growing into such a cool little boy that I can't wait to see how he ends up. My advise is to enjoy every age, they go by really fast. Good luck!

Answer 3

It's hard but amazing to watch them. When mine where young I thought I wanted them to stay little forever. You have so much to look forward too.
When your boys sneak into the bathroom and shave for the first time and cut there lip, it's great. Or shave there head because there bored -not so great at the time, but funny much later.
When they have there first REAL crush on a girl, it breaks your heart.
Watching them grow will be the best time of your life.

Answer 4

I think its hard my son is already in kindergarten taken spelling test, he reads to me and everything, he is only 5. I cry sometimes just listening to him have conversation with his 2 little brothers, exp when all 3 of them are giggling in the room. I know it will not last long. But I guess there is more to look forward to the whole g/f thing, the graduation and college thing. Them getting married and having children. Of course it will eventually happen but that's why I take video and photos almost everyday of the little things. so I can always look back and remember the moments.

Answer 5

I think it's a real joy to watch them grow up. To see them learning new things, showing you how smart they can be, making you proud with their many accomplishments, when they start to gain independence and show you that you taught them great values, morals and behavior, and those moments when they choose to do the right thing instead of the wrong one, but I think it's sad when you realize how much they have grown, and how quickly it has happened, and that it's time to let them go and be their own person, and that you'll never have those moments back again. But the only thing you can do about it is accept it and enjoy the great moments when they happen, file them away in your memory and let them be your inspiration when you're feeling low.

Answer 6

Every year brings new and cool things you can do with tehm...mine is 8 now and is really taken to throwing and (finally) catching the hardball now...he swims like a fish, so I like 8 better than 4 personlly...just enjoy the ride.

Answer 7

of course its hard. as they get older the more they can do without you and so on. but there are speial things about every age. one day your boys will be grown up and maybe have kids than when that day even though it will still be hard you can play with your grandkids and spoil them rotten and than hand them back to there parents.

Answer 8
