[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT give your children any clue that you rely on them emotionally. It's too much of a burden for a child. Your 9-year-old doesn't "get" you because he's not an adult. He doesn't get adult needs and problems. Don't project your needs onto him just because he's considerate. [/quote] +1[/quote] -1 Nobody should rely on children for emotional support, but it is our job as parents to teach them to be empathetic, life is not perfect and people have bad days. It is okay for your children to see you sad, mad, frustrated, overwhelmed, etc. They need to learn how to deal with adversity, be able to show empathy... and you should show them that even though some days/weeks/months/years suck, you keep being the best person you can be.
