Sometimes it's hard being a parent. I'm not saying it still isn't the best thing I've ever done but it is hard. When you think about having children of your own what you picture is picnics in the park, teaching them to ride a bike, Christmas morning and the look on their face when they open the one thing they wanted all year. What you aren't imagining is the tantrums, the fights and it's mines, you don't think about when they grow up and become teenagers and the whole new list of tantrums and fits. The I wants and it's not fair. Kids are not easy anyone who tells you they are is a big fat liar. I love my children with all my heart and could not imagine my life with out them. With that said They drive me insane. It's a good crazy that I would not trad for anything in this world. I think every day if I hear "mommy" one more time my head may explode. If I hear "give it back" again I might just run away and never come back.
Then I hear "here sister I will do it for you" "lets play hide and seek, I'll show you how" and "thank you brother" or I see my son helping his little sister put on her shoes, or my daughter's eyes light up when her big brother shares his favorite toy with her. My heart melts and I think God all over again that I was given the chance to be their mother.
So when you are dreaming about your future with that special someone don't forget children grow up they aren't always babies but all that time from the day they were born till the moment you die it's all worth it. Every fight every "I hate you" or "your so mean" it's one more moment one more day you have with them.
