I'm a mother now, My son is two months old. I can't explain how much I love him and how much he means to me. It's like I don't even want him to grow up. I just want to squeeze him so tight and kiss him up and tell him how much I love him, But I don't seeing how squeezing him like that can hurt him. I just imagine doing it in my head :). The smile on his face means the world to me and he is my everything. I can't stand to hear him cry. Before he was even bore I already started his college fund. I just want the best for my child give him everything that I didn't get. I love him so much he is my World! So does every mother feel like this towards their child? or I am just weird lol

Being a mother is something unique. Nobody knows how it feels until you are already there. Is something with no explanation. I have a son too. He is three years old now. I still remember the first time I saw him. It was like a blind date, then, love instantly. Well, even before he borne I was loving him. I don't get tired to look at him. I like to see all his expressions, he is so beautiful to me. Sometimes I think like you, I don't want him to grow, I want him only for me. But I understand is part of life, he has to keep growing and someday make his own life. Sometimes I try to record in my mind some moments I don't want to forget. Actually I am making a journal for him. I write everything I want him to know. Things he does, things about my life, about his family. Someday I hope be able to give it to him. Maybe when he gets marry or have his own baby. But if for some reason I am not there with him, he has something from his mom. Something written by me, so he can know me better. My life has been great and I have a lot good stories to tell, but nothing compared to be a mother.

Wow! What a great idea! I wish I had thought of a journal as my children were growing up. That is something that they will be able to treasure even after you are gone! God bless you!

You are not weird! Being weird would be NOT loving your child! You are a normal mother. That love for your child will never go away even after they've grown up. Enjoy every minute you have with him. My children are all grown now and I miss that time that they were growing up. You don't realize how short the time is while they are children because you are so busy with them. It's after they're gone that you realize that the time you had with them was so precious. Don't worry about everyday chores that can be done later. Take that time with your child instead. Best wishes from one mother to another!

I am sure you are not the only one who feels that way about being a mom. I have two daughters, 3 years old and 1 year old. And yes, I am absolutely in love with those two. There are times when I wake up in the middle of the night and instead of going back to sleep, I would check on my girls and just look at them and watch them sleep for a really long time. Being a mom is the best thing that ever happened to me. It has brought me so much joy and I am overwhelmed with happiness just at the mere thought of my children. Your child is only 2 months old and he has brought you so much joy already. Imagine if he starts talking and telling you how much he loves you. I'm sure your heart will melt.

Every woman has a mother's instinct especially those who bore a child, it is automatic, and I don't know if there are mothers who do not care and love their children. I have felt the same way the first time I laid eyes on my children. I became over-protective of them and I didn't want to hear them cry. My children have been pampered with love and affection and I believe I was able to raise them to be good persons.

its normal for mother to love her child. u should pray for your child to grow up well to be a responsible man. stop saying that u don't want him grow up because, if he remain like that, you wont be happy at all.

Hi AishaBR, I'm not sure every mother feels that way, but I believe mothers that truly are plugged into being a mother will feel that way. I didn't want my daughter to grow up either, but you know, you just enjoy seeing them grow and develop. There is so much to share in their lives, even as they grow older. Just enjoy every day with your child; each new day will be a gift.
