[quote=Anonymous]I love having kids more than I ever thought I would. I truly enjoy most minutes with them, and as they get older, I feel so melancholy about their advancing ages and growing independence. And they are still really young! The are 6, 4 and 1. I feel like the days go by so very fast. The middle one is going to K next year, and that makes me feel so sad since I've seen such change in my eldest after he starting K this past Fall (not bad change - just the totally normal getting older and learning more and becoming more independent). Do you have any tricks you use to quell the sadness? I am, of course, happy that my kids are doing well and making friends, and getting independent and of course, I want this for them! And I want them to have a life outside of our home. But - it just makes me feel so sad, at the same time. [/quote]
