At first, they would complain on the headaches they had while the children are growing or during school age...
but it always turns out to be the JOY they had after all the pains... and every story to our child is not only worth remembering but also worth sharing... not only to our families, our friends... but also to all our online friends who does not even knows us personally... and it always brings pride and joy for every compliments received.
Contrary, if they talked of their husbands... they end up in anger... if they talked of their worked... they end up frustrated... if they talked of their friends... they end up envious...
Do you agree, friends? Please share your thoughts...

Kids are the source of fun and innocence. They don't much about their life but yet their acts and plays are very nice which touch our heart. It is very common mother telling telling something about their kids and finally ends with a laugh. This is because they love and care you much than others.

Oh very sweet... me to, and my ultimate dream is to have more time with them without worrying of the future... I hope I could finally resigned my job and be just a simple mom who would take care of their needs. But that would be difficult nowadays, it would take a lot more hardwork before I could secure their future.

I love to listen to other moms' stories of their parenting woes and wonders. I also share my own. But, since I'm new at motherhood, I have less to share, so I try to learn much from them and ask questions, too.
I can talk a lot of good things about my husband. I am a very proud wife of a good and generous person, with a successful career.

Motherhood is one of the wonders of this world, how every mother knows how to take care of their children without the need to study a lesson. They call it mother's instinct and usually we listen to it. But then sharing our experiences makes the whole experience a lot more fun and exciting. Goodluck new mother, I know you'll be the best!

of course... they are the biggest star in our lives and we are their number 1 fan. It is a topic we would never get tired of. Sometimes, I feel that my children are different or very difficult to handle, but when comparing notes with the other mothers, I realized then that it is the normal thing on their age. And of course I am not the only one in the world having the same problem and it would also turned out to be not a problem anymore but only an experience as a mother that would be treasured for the rest of my life.

It is normally said we cannot choose our relatives but we can always choose our friends. A husband / wife is the lottery ticket we choose amongst many and it ends up just that, either in the waste basket or if really a jackpot (as rare as snow in sahara desert) then in the bank account. Workplace is the arena we choose to showcase our talents only to find the pitch queered up with sycophants and friends are the inhabitants from another planet. The only consolation we have for a trophy in this life is our very own progeny, our own blood and flesh, something that we have borne, nurtured, and brought up with all the love and sacrifice at our command.
The only thing on earth that allows us to share a platform with our very own creator, God.
A sense of elation, accomplishment, ecstasy, fulfillment and pride is not out of place then when we speak of our very own children. They truly are here because of us and we are here alive today because of them.

Well explained... thank you for the effort and sharing. I appreciate it very well. Yes, we gamble our life and future when choosing a husband/wife... and if we are lucky enough, we might found the right one for each one of us. Even the long engagement would not secure us that he/she is the right one, they say that you would only know a person when you live under the same roof together and so that is after marriage.
But with our children, we know them well even if they are still in our tummy... or even if they could not say a single word. We know what they want, what they feel or what they are thinking. And seeing them grow each day, we will never get tired of thanking God for sending them for us. As it seems... children are not sent to us to take care of them... but eventually to take care of us when we cannot take care of ourselves anymore.

That's the beauty part of parenting. No matter how many flaws the children have, the parents always think that their child is the best! Maybe as what the saying go, the relationship of parent and child is bond by blood where the rest are mere relationship and feelings.

Totally agree with you cwong77... Parenting was indeed very beautiful and our children are really a gift from God. Now that they are a little older and I could talk to them not really as my children but as a new individual, who could relate and make suggestions... I feel good about myself. I know that I did well in raising them up.

I am not a mother yet, but I may agree with you. Because when I chance upon a group of mothers talking, it's really all about their kids. Well, they can't help it! Their kids are their everything ~ their joy, pride, headache... About the other topics, well... it could be true, but, not most of the time.

You will see gloryacam... when it would be your turn to be a mother, maybe even your mylot topic would be children, schools, parenting and motherhood. And you will be very proud of writing even the smallest achievement that they had done. I could'nt help it, even my online friends knows very well my kids and they would sometimes say their regards to them.
