Something about raising childern

I only have one child of my own. My husband has three that are raised and out on their own. I did not want any children but I got pregnant and decided to keep her. It is hard to raise a child and I am glad that I only have one. she is now 16 years old. I didn't think I would have the patience to raise one either but thank God my husband helped me with it. I don't blame you for second guessing it. It takes alot of time, money and patience to raise them.

Yes raising children can be hard work but it also the best feeling in the world and I would not swap it for quids! I have two children, 7 and nearly 2. There is no doubt that I would do it all again if I had might time over. There are a few little things that I may do differently, but there is certainly not much I would change. I think that there is too much pressure put on women to reproduce. While most women have the capability to have children it is not necessarily the right thing for every woman to do. Children take time, patience and understanding. They need to be guided, loved and given plenty of opportunities to express themselves. They are not easy all the time but I don't like to say it is hard work either. Parents aren't just creating children that will grow into adults they are making tomorrows world.

I have no kids and I always appreciate parents who raised their kids with great attitude and proper behavior. I know it's not easy, it is the toughest and most challenging role yet satisfying.It needs patience, love, care, understanding and consistency. You have to be the model, you can't set rules for the kids and you are not doing it. Have to walk your talk as they say! Once both partners will sit down and talk about it and help each other in raising their kids, nothing is impossible!

I have seven, and it is the toughest job I ever had! I had a lot of experience too, but your own kids are a different type of challenge! Babies are so cute, but they do grow up quickly! It seems that no matter what you do, what you say, or how much you love them, it is never good enough for them!

I have two sons, now 19 and 20. I didn't want children for a long time but when I turned 30 I began thinking about it and got married, had my eldest when I was 33. I wouldn't change that for anything! Every moment of pregnancy was wonderful, most moments of parenthood were great but I don't yet think I'm recovered from the first years when I never got more than a couple of hours of sleep for 3 years. You'll probably want children eventually but there's not hurry. And if you don't want any, there's not a thing wrong with that. Many people choose not to have children and they're very happy as aunts and uncles and friends. It's the hardest job in the world but the most rewarding, too!

I am a parent, and I have three children and two step children, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Yes, it can break your heart having children, but it can also be some of the happiest moments you will ever have as well. To me the happy moments by far outweigh the sad ones.

Yes, being a parent is not an easy one..It is an easy job to love children, admire them and enjoy their naughtiness.But raising one is a very difficult job..I have seen one of my friends who is suffering a lot with her 2 year old hyperactive kid..He never listens to what my friend says..He will never obey her words..He will not do the things his mom asks him to do..And he will do those things that his mom says him not to do..My friend was totally mentally affected by this ..Her BP also went down vey much..Now she is under medication.It is very difficult to raise children like this.. But on the other hand, you can enjoy raising the babies if you enjoy parenting..It all depends on the individuals and greatly on the behaviour of the baby.

i have a toddler aged three and although at times its very hard work, i couldnt imagine her not being in my life . Not planning on having anymore just yet though as one is all i cna manage for now !

I'm a mother of an almost 5 year old boy. He's still an only child, but raising him wasn't that easy. From having sleepless nights when he was still a baby. Having to always wake up every 2 hours to feed him and always having to guess what he needs. My husband and I had our ups and downs in raising our son. The joy of seeing him pass his developmental milestones. And the endless worries when he's sick. Even when I was still single, I was always fond of kids. And I helped raise my nieces and cousins too. So, I've had my experience of dealing with their cuteness and tantrums!So if ever I have to live my life again,I'd say yes to baby chores. It's not always easy but it sure is a humbling experience. It's too early for you to say that you won't have the patience to raise your own child. Because you never know what will happen as soon as you hold your baby in your arms the first time. It's an indescribable experience. Being a parent is a tough job indeed. No day-offs!But I won't exchange my role as a mom for anything in the world.

I definitely wun know how to raise a child on my own.. I will only spoil them.. haha..I did help to take care of my frenz children b4 and i realise that they only listen to wat i tell them in the beginner stage, as times goes by, whenever they dun listen to me, i will spoil them by buying toys and sweets for them.. Soon i realise that i've done it wrongly, and by than it was too late for me.. But luckily i'm bot the parents.. If i'm the father of the kids, i'm wondering how should i reverse the situation again.. hehe

I am a parent and I have 4 children, it has not always been easy and some days it is really hard. I know this might sound horrible, but as you asked I will tell you. If I had the chance to live my life again, knowing what I know now, as much as I love my children I would probably not have 4, I would even go as far as to say that I would not have any. Each of my children are totally different, I love them all equally but they are totally different in their personalities, meaning that there is never a dull moment in the house.

I have 2 children under 3 - both boys & just under 18 months apart in age. If I had my life over again I would do it exactly the same! I love having my children close in age, and love having 2 boys. Children don't come with instruction manuals, and at times it can be hard, but I have had no trouble raising them so far. I have found it rather easy and love doing it. It all just comes to you the minute you see them for the first time, and having 2 close isn't any harder than just having one for me.

Every time I found out I was pregnant I asked myself, "Can I really handle this? Do I have enough to give each one what they need?" And low and behold, the new baby came and I did. There is something about the love that is given to a mother, it grows with each child in her womb. Whether you are blessed with one or fifteen, you will have just the right amount of love to give for each one. And that's really all that it takes, love. Its really hard to explain in the right words, because someone who hasn't had children yet, cannot possibly know the love I speak of. Its like no other. Its feeling your heart just about explode when your baby takes the first step, or holds his bottle for the first time, or looks up with a great big grin and says I love you. Its feeling that same heart shatter to pieces the first time he spends the night at a friends house and the whole night all you can think about is him. Once a mother has been blessed with this love, it never goes away and never decreases. You can expect the same heart response when you watch him cross the stage at graduation, or pull of in his first car, or watch him as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. Sure its a hard job, but the rewards are worth far more than the effort and sacrifice we put in. ~peace and blessings~
