Does your life center around your children? I know, mine does. My daughter is turning 9 yrs. old today, and she has been such a joy to our whole family. I would like to see all parents appreciate their children. After all, they are our future and they should be treated with respect. What do you do to show your child that they mean so much to you? I'm just curious and feeling sentimental today. Thanks for your answers!!

Happy birthday to your daughter!
I try to tell my kids each day how much I love them, and how much they mean to my life.
3 of our kids (6 all up) are foster children, so time is especially precious to us, and we want them to 'soak up' as much love as possible before they leave, lol, so that they know what a blessing they've been to our lives!
Once I made my eldest son a 'love bug' chart, it hung in his room over his bed. Every night when I tucked him in I drew another bug on it, and he 'collected' loves!
Hope you have a great day!

I once had a teacher tell me at a parent interview that the reason my son was having a few issues was because he was the center of my universe. I could not believe that a teacher would think this was a bad thing, when you consider that the average parent in the US spends less than 30 minutes of quality time with their children per week, my response was that maybe more people should make their children the center of their universe.
I also reminded her that his problems were probably more due to the fact that we had just moved to a new country and left everything he ever knew behind and we had just found out we were having another baby.
So the answer is yes, my life is all about my kids and that is why I chose to have them. Hurray! to all the parents who do the same.

you would be shocked the flaws which you're able to do without on each occasion the toddler gets right here. i does no longer have an abortion purely for the reason which you think of which you won't have the capacity to attend to to pay for it. I even have heard this asserting many, many, many cases and that i agree, "in case you wait until eventually you are able to take care of to pay for infants, then you definately will never have them." there is somewhat some certainty to that fact, and you will make it!!! i'm in between jobs actual now and we stay off one income, yet i does no longer be happier if i found out next weekend that i'm pregnant. there is not any reason to hardship approximately no longer having the money because of the fact as a verify, you will locate the place to make sacrifices. do no longer enable him have the only opinion on having your baby, fantastically if he's no longer your husband!

Not all children turn out to be a joy. What's important is the legacy you leave behind. You don't need a national holiday in your honor or anything like that. But you get the gist of it. Gotta go. More later.

I think the decision to bring children into the world is one that should ONLY be made by people who are willing to make them the center of their lives. Babies enter the world a clean slate: helpless, dependent, innocent. Their parents are their lifeline. I quit work to stay home with my two boys, and I would do it again. We had to relocate to a less expensive place to live, and give up some luxuries, but for now, it's the right thing to do and I don't regret it for one instant. My boys are 3 and 1 right now, and my day centers around making them happy. We do everything with our kids - include them in every aspect of our lives. I wish everyone could do what I do - I know for some people and circumstances it isn't possible. I'm just so grateful that I can be with them on a daily basis, and give them the best part of me.

No. I love my children, but I was a complete person before them. My husband and I have jobs and lives. We love our kids and do many things for them. They are a huge part of our lives, but FAMILY is the center, not just the kids.

Andrew & my life has revolved around our kids since we conceived. As first time parents we was so scared the day we found out they were twins, but now two years later we would feel so empty without both of our boys in our lives.
It's funny, because you really don't understand until they are there. Even when they are complete little horrors you cannot help, but love and care for them.
When they hurt, you hurt, when they cry you cry, and when they smile it brightens your darkest days!
Happy Birthday to your daughter!! xxx

My life is all about my so right now. I've decided to be a stay at home mom so I consider it my job to care for him 24/7. He's only 18 months right now, so maybe when he's older I'll go back to work and have more of a life outside the home.

Yes, yes yes. My life is my children. I show my daughter how much she means to me by raising her up in the love and admonition of the Lord. I teach her how to be a self-sufficient, functional member of society by including her in everything I do. I correct and discipline consistently.
I tell her that she is my world and that she is gorgeous and perfectly amazing.
