I don't have kids on my own but some of you knows that my 3yr old nephew lives with me since birth. Soon, he will have to move on and live with his mom if things will improve. Anyway, today he came in to my room and hugged me for a while. We watched TV and played a game on my phone. We soon moved on to the kitchen as we became hungry. We didn't bond for how many days and i'm glad we did today cause he also showed me that he's now learning how to use a spoon and drink his milk from a glass. Yeah, he's a little bit late when it comes to these things but i'm so proud.

And i suppose your nephew is now so endeared to you ? That happens when a child is left with a nanny or a relative who takes care of him / her while the parents are away .

he's close to everybody, he likes being around with people. he doesnt look for his Mama when shes gone. but he regard his mom and his mom only when my sister is here.

@SIMPLYD he doesnt like us when his mom(my sister) is here visiting. he only let his mom touch him. he becomes very spoiled or overacting or fond of his moms affection and doesnt want her gone from his eyes.

Aww that is so nice that you take care of your little nephew. My littlest nephew will be 4 in July. I hope that the situation does improve so that he is able to live back with his mother. I hope they all appreciate you forever how you took care of him. You are a very special part of his life.

@sjvg1976 we don't have twins in the family. that must be so fun having two kids in your arms when they were little. @Dawwriter my nephew alone is like equivalent to 10 kids sometimes..

Yes, watching a child grow up is amazing! It is also very difficult to give them up if/when that time comes, whether that be back to their bio parents or allowing them to leave home when they are grown... You lose them too fast, either way.

they grow too fast i realized. as much as i want them to stay the same but i guess its much better seeing them achieve their dreams and all that.

I, too, have no children of my own. But I've watched the children of my friends grow and it just amazes me how fast time flies! They change so much in a short span of time.

Very true. each day they learn new things and grow so even a month later they look and sound different.

@MGjhaud how about showing your face to the 'public' hija? just kidding. I reared my son alone without the help of his father. of course my sister and late parents were here to guide me in guiding my son
