[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! I so know what you are talking about. I miss my kids being young so badly and I have shed a lot of tears in private over this. My wife was a stay at home mom when the kids were younger. It was heavenly. We took a lot of pictures and video. I don't care what anyone says. Once they become teenagers the magic is definitely over. My idea of Heaven would be to be perpetually a young parent with young children. They were so loving and affectionate. I know life has to move on but it sucks and people who deny that are trying to convince themselves to be happy.

I can remember picking up my baby at preshool. Walking home with her on my shoulders and when we got home I made her a nice lunch or snacks and played Candyland or Pretty, Pretty Princess---she was a little girl. It was some of the best times in my life. Like I said anyone who thinks it's wonderful when they get older is kidding themselves. You just don't have a choice.[/quote]

Aww this made me tear up. She will always be your little girl, just in a different way.[/quote]

We have a daughter who we love to the moon and back.  She grew up and married a guy who treats us like garbage.  She has turned against her entire family. I realize this is probably something she has to do to survive life with her husband and in laws. Never in our wildest dreams did we think this would happen.  We deserve happiness as we get older.  We are getting better and better at just letting it go.  [/quote]
