A gorgeous thing my kid did today!
Hi all, we have had a request that this be added as a new topic.
Often our children do things that make us hold our head in our hands, but sometimes they do things that make our hearts sing.
As a single parent we may not have anyone to share that with, we have bored our friends for hours about how wonderful (or naughty!) our little cherubs are, and its very hard for others to truly share and understand the warmth and delight we feel, when our little one hiccups and then falls over, or our teenager curls up for a cuddle after 6 months of being obnoxious, or our child remembers to thank granny for a drink without any prompting from you. There are so many small joys and often they get swept away and forgotten about as life goes on. Share your stories here and know that we will be swooning too!! :D
This was before we moved out and before my plans to leave actually started.
My 16 year old daughter, then 15 told me that when she has left school, earning her own money and moving into her own place, that she was going to take me with her. *sniff*
It was the kick up the bum I needed to start planning our escape.
Awwww, see we must be doing something right!! Keep them coming!! :D
Sounds like you are raising a confident, supportive young man, well done you!
Good for you daughter.
I'm glad your neighbour told you this too - it is warming to know!
Awww, what a cutie! Well done you, raising a son who recognises what a star you are!! :D
Aww some of those are just fabulous.
My 4 y/o, he is soooo challenging. He doesnt really mix with other kids. But we spend alot of time working with him, and just yesterday he hugged me ( A rare thing) And says " You're my bestest fwiend in the bole world"
My heart melted. He said " aww don't cry, dont be sad"
Making me cry even more
I composed myself, explained I cried coz I was happy, don't think he realised though :)
I'm so glad you had a hug.
My 13 year old has autistic tendancies/aspurgers, and his hugs have always been perfunctionary when told to... as you do.
The now retired Scout leaders were brilliant with him and he went on a couple of summer camps with his older sister (old hand, she's been on a couple before). The first year (2007) my oldest son went along with a family friend to help keep an eye on him - he will have wobblers, and if he panics, he will run off. Last year he went on summer camp with just his sister. They had a good week.
I was waiting at the Scout hut for them to come home. I'd opened the building and got everything ready, then heard the minibuses. My son flew into the hall and threw himself at me. My first hug. I'd waited 13 years and 7 months for that and I wept. It meant so much. His sister was there too, and it was truly a memorable day for me - and not just because they were home safe.
(sorry - I'm quite an emotional person!!)
He's not being so cute today let me tell you.
So far He hates me, he hates brother..... threw a car at my head!!!!
Still I know it'll pass, lol.
Hahaha!!! What a difference a day makes. It's hard though, isn't it when it's not such a good day.
Hope your head's ok.
Aww it didnt hurt as much as his teeth sinking into me.
His excuse was "your leg was in my way mam"
Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
I used to get covered in bruises with my 13 year old. Mainly when he was small and I'd pick him up to get somewhere - usually in the car! He's taller than me now though, but he's more co-operative.
I came back from work late yesterday completely shattered and in a foul mood. I went to lie on my bed to let the moment pass so that i could face the evening chores again: cooking our supper and washing everything up and get on with the ironing. My daughter called for me and i went downstairs still in a grump and annoyed for not being able to just have 5 minutes to myself. Well it's not too much to ask is it?? I growled at her 'what is it' and she said i've made you a cup of tea to make you feel better.... :D What can i say, all my annoyances were gone, i gave her a hug and got on with the evening domestics without a negative thought in mind. What a doll! She is a star :D
