I just love my kids...

I just bloody love them to bits.

I'm not going to boast, I just wanted to put it down somewhere that I think they're incredible, wonderful people and that I'm so proud to be their mum.

Obviously they do my head in too and I might hide from them and motherly duty from time to time, but overall, they make my heart swell near to bursting.

Anyone else care to proclaim their undying love to their kinder? Be loud and be proud!

Me too and my grandkids
Amazing people

flossletsfloss · 20/11/2019 23:12

I feel the same. It just overwhelms me on a daily basis. I spend most of my time telling them how much I love every inch of them. It's just amazing, isn't it. ❤️

indigo13 · 20/11/2019 23:12

Yes me! They're my purpose in life, they're incredible!

Thank you for this, it makes a change on here 😀

That's lovely OP. Have you told them?
Coming from someone who knows they would never hear that from her own.

DramaAlpaca · 20/11/2019 23:18

I'm so proud of my three sons & the amazing young men they have grown up to be. They are wonderful & I love the bones of them.

Bluerussian · 20/11/2019 23:20

I have just one who is simply amazing, clever, talented and kind.

ShellsandSand · 20/11/2019 23:25

Mine are incredible. I can't believe they like me.

VanyaHargreeves · 20/11/2019 23:26

Is that you, Peter Andre? Grin

DodgeRainClouds · 20/11/2019 23:34

Me too! I love hearing them talking to each other and praising/encouraging each other. They argue loads and drive me insane but my heart literally swells with love for them.

Notlostjustexploring · 20/11/2019 23:48

Mine are only 1 and 3 but watching them make each other laugh is the most hilarious and heartwarming thing in the world.

They are such happy, laughing, joyful children and the eldest is turning into such a caring and good wee boy already.

And I don't know how long it lasts, but their faces still light up with delight when they see me, which is just lovely.

TiddyTid · 20/11/2019 23:49

Mine are 23 and 24 and texted them both tonight to tell them I love them. Must be something in the air Grin

AnneLovesGilbert · 20/11/2019 23:52

Thank you for this, it makes a change on here

I love my step kids, how’s that?! Grin

DH is having surgery tomorrow and they both sent lovely good luck messages and a little video saying they love him. When I see them I’m going to kiss their faces off.

Jayteedee · 20/11/2019 23:59

Me too, so much so that I often wonder if the 'you can't spoil an infant' thing is really true or if all the gushing I do towards them might spoil them. They're both funny, very clever, smiley and squidgy! And I am so proud I have a boy and a girl and that they're close in age and love each other.

Casmama · 21/11/2019 00:04

@VanyaHargreeves thank fuck it's not just me- I came on to check Peter Andre himself was not actually posting Grin

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 21/11/2019 00:16

I also thought of the orange one. Grin

HearMeSnore · 21/11/2019 07:52

Yup. Just the one for me but she's the sweetest, funniest, most adorable person I've ever known. Sometimes I can't believe she came from me and DH. She's worth ten of us put together.

As she's an only one, we've put a lot of effort into taking her places, arranging play dates, visiting family so she can spend time with her cousins, generally making sure she's not lonely. But looking back I think the happiest times have been when it's just us, at home, pottering about and dong not much. That's when I catch myself watching her play/read/eat/sleep and marvel at the wonder of her.

icelollycraving · 21/11/2019 07:53

I immediately thought of the orange beast. That’s insania.

ironickname · 21/11/2019 07:56

@VanyaHargreeves

Eh? I don't get it? Why Peter Andre?

OP posts:
BlueEyedFloozy · 21/11/2019 08:00

Another who thought we had an orange one in our midst 🤣

I love my kids but not in the overwhelming way that people speak - I've never felt that immediate rush or strong bond with them though!

ironickname · 21/11/2019 08:01

@BlueEyedFloozy

I don't get it! Why Peter Andre?!

OP posts:
BlueEyedFloozy · 21/11/2019 08:06

Because you can never say it enough.

On every appearance, with every breath. We all need to be made publicly aware that one really REALLY loves the kids. No one, NO ONE can share that love for the children.

Clearly 😁

See here

BlueEyedFloozy · 21/11/2019 08:09

Although, to clarify.

Loving your kids is not a bad thing - it's just a standing joke so please don't be offended (same goes for PA if he happens to be reading! haha)

BeanBag7 · 21/11/2019 08:13

My daughter is so amazing. Shes nearly 3 and so kind, clever, loving and funny. My friends kids are great but she is obviously a cut above the rest 😅
I'm pregnant with number 2 and worried that he won't be as amazing as big sister 😕

ironickname · 21/11/2019 08:15

@BlueEyedFloozy

Ah, I see! Thank you.

I don't usually go around declaring my undying adoration for my children. I was just feeling all warm and proud last night.

OP posts:
BlueEyedFloozy · 21/11/2019 08:19

They do have their moments that make you well up don't they?

I had tears in my eyes one evening when I found 7yo DS and 9mo DD curled up asleep on the sofa with a blanket over them and a book in his hand that they had obviously fell asleep reading 💖
