I don't know what it means. I want to have a child very much but I still don't have a man next to me. Please, explain me this feeling. What means to have a child?

i will take it to mean that you are already of marriageable age and is way above 30 to be talking this way. anyway, once the baby comes forth from the womb, a mother will always be overjoyed to see and touch the baby. there now lies beside you a true part of you, yes, a part of you because the baby has come from you. the joy of having him beside you is beyond description. how frail, how cute, how nice...no exact words can ever describe your own baby. i have always loved all of my kids, very much.

To have a child I guess is one of the most wonderful thing that we could experience in this life. See the God even if He has all the things and power still He wants children so there are so many good things in having one. I myself has changed drastically in my views in life upon having a children of my own. Somehow the responsibility of raising them made me more focus in life while enjoying the great feeling of hugging, kissing, and taking care of them a showing of my unconditional love.

our children are our treasures, our best treasures in this life. having them around with us spells happiness in itself. yes, hugging them and kissing them give us feelings of happiness and joys only parents feel.

Having a child is like having a joy and happiness in abundance. The child also requires parents both mother and father to love. You can forget the world when you are in the company of child.

Ofcourse, it's a great responsibility and it takes real patience to be a parent. But finally, when u see him or her smile u get to feel the real worth.

i will always agree with you at all times as regards the great responsibility that comes with being a parent. that child's life now belongs in your hands. how parents will deal with it from childbirth onwards, will hone and mould the child's life, how would it be, will be how he will become. the child's future is really in the hands of the parents.

You will never sleep all night long again. You will worry about everything concerning your children and others, as well. Your needs will be put on the back burner. You will not be able to just call up some friends and go out-now you will have to find a sitter. Everything you do will be centered around your kids. Is it worth it? Yes, being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs you will ever have. However, it is also the most rewarding. When you pick your child up and give them a hug and they reciprocate, you will feel joy that is unexplainable. When you teach your child to ride a bike and they take off, you are filled with pride. When it's their first day of school, you will cry because your little one is no longer "little". I'm sure you get my meaning here. It's an incredible responsibility. It will change your life forever. I no longer remember what my life was like before children. And, I cannot imagine if I had never had them what my life would be like. I don't want to. It's an unconditional love that is hard to explain-but totally worth it.

its the best feeling in the world to be a parent! But darling you dont have to have a man to have a child!! You can raise them on your own! I am raising both of my children alone and love every minuet of it and wouldnt change it for the world!! The first time you feel your child kick you in your stomach is magical ....the feeling you have this little life in you and it relys on you makes ya feel good. You will find you will take better care of yourself when your pregnate too!!! But the clincher is when they lay your baby in your arms right after you have them!! You will fall in love with your child instantly (if you havent already)!!! Its like god handing you the most precious gift of all and that he intrusts you to care for these wonderful children!! So I recommend if you want a child and cant get a good man have one on your own! Having a man dont always mean stable family or vice versa!

To me I feel my little girl is a gift, rather than a possession, she gives me unconditional love, it is hard to explain to be honest, sometimes I tell her off liek we have to when we dicipline them but between us we have spoken and unspoken bond of love. i hope that you are gifted with such a special child and the joy they bring. I hope to hear that you have good news soon.

I don't really know if I can tell you what it means to be a mom. It is a lot of responsibility. Suddenly...there is someone in your life that you must care for more than yourself...and it comes very naturally. I love my husband more than myself as well, but the love that we both have for our son is a bit different. He is truly a blessing from the Lord. We know that we must teach him all we can while he is young, because soon he will be in this world. It can be a bit overwhelming at times. It is wonderful though to see the world again through his eyes for the first time. It is as though you can re-live your youth once more. It is truly a joy. It is my hope for you that you one day can experience this kind of love. Agape.

Maybe you wanted to settle down and have a family of your own... But bear in mind that marriage is a commitment and that make sure that the man you wanted to be your husband is the one whom you really love that will take care of you and your family. Being a parent is a great fullfilment. It's so nice when your child start calling you mom and dad.

It is the most tiring, trying, hardest, most emotional thing you can ever experience. You dont sleep, you cant go out, you stress all the time. But it is the best thing in the world. To see your child mile, and say i love you mummy, its the most precious thing. There is so much that makes you smile, from seeing them after a bath all clean in their pjs, too being top to toe in mud. Having a baby changed my life completely, but for the better. ITS PURE MAGIC
