What do your DC do that makes you weepy? Or am I being hormonal and mad?

[Rainallnight]

DS, DD and I were playing Hungry Hippos today (self isolating!). DS is only 2 and couldn’t quite get the hang of it, so started hand feeding marbles to his hippo. For some reason, I thought it was really tragic and really brave and resourceful and I felt quite weepy.

But am generally a slight weepy mess at the moment.

Anyone else?

Just me then?

I feel weepy when my 10 month old wakes in the night and I turn on the camera app to watch him and I see his little arms scrabbling about until he finds his dummy, puts it back in then rolls over back to sleep ❤️

Are you pregnant? I was like this when I was pregnant!

Definitely not pregnant.

Aw, @GagaBinks, that’s very sweet!

When DD sings with her full voice, she is 16 and in professional
Musical theatre training - the most heart string pulling is one perfect moment from bring it on and pulled from Adams family.
For a girl who only had 10% hearing at a year old she's doing pretty well.

I was going to say singing too - 12 yo DD doesn't have a musical theatre voice by any stretch of the imagination, but she often sings with pure unadulterated joy in the shower and it makes me well up with happiness.

Wow, @Lonecatwithkitten, she’s doing so well! You must be so proud.

@Vinosaurus that’s really lovely.

I had it again at tea time when four year old DD was doing a very serious and utterly crazy dance in the kitchen. I must be hormonal!

My husband sings a song with our DC (2 and 4) before bed and hearing their little attempts at singing (they basically just shout) from downstairs often makes weepy

When they sing Away in a Manger.
The first time I took DS to church and he was teeny tiny and all lit up with stained glass.

@Sunshine1235 I feel weepy at that and I don’t even know you!

A few years ago DS(15) went shopping and bought lots of little goodies for DH and I for Christmas. We had helped him get presents for both of us but had no idea that he had got these extra things. It was so thoughtful of him, made me cry.

That is really lovely. There’s something about teenagers being kind that’s definitely weepy.

My son is three. The other day he said "I love you. It's because you talk to me." Set me off. I haven't always talked to him as much and taken the time I should have with him, and I feel like he's noticed the change.

So cute, your son feeding the hippos!

I got really emotional the other day when DS11 spent hours helping DS7 - who is having a hard time recently having just been diagnosed autistic and having rubbish time at school - build a minecraft lego set. He was so patient and kept his brother occupied for ages.

God I was a bubbling mess last night. My boy is only 12 weeks old and I was having a little slow dance with him to the radio. My husband saw us and said 'just think, when he's older he can dance with you at weddings and parties' and the waterworks just started.

My son has severe disabilities and has only recently started to say mummy; he’s 3.
Every night when I put him to bed he puts his hands either side of my face and says mommyyyy in the most beautiful little voice. In my head, he’s saying I love you mum.
My eyes fill up every single time.

Weepy mess signing in. Some really wonderful moments here. My 8 year old changed the front screen of my phone to a sunrise/lake/mountain picture, kind of Switzerland in all its glory style, because he knew that's 'where I'd find beauty'. Now teary at own memory of own child.

DD is in reception and learning to read, sometimes she jumbled her words up and I say “you’re just guessing”. DS1 (3) has joined in with saying this. The other day DS1 had been naughty and as DH was telling him off he got his words mixed up. DS1 sighed and rolled his eyes and said ‘oh daddy you’re just guessing your words!’. It made me cry

Away in a manger definitely. I feel absolute joy when I hear my kids singing

@Vinosaurus at 12 we really had no idea she like to sing and had a pretty voice and then at around 14 it developed into this amazing voice. We are not a 'showy' family so where this incredible flower came from we don't know.

When they are sweet to each other and talk politely in their little baby voices! I overheard this amicable little conversation yesterday DD1 said to DS "Why are you copying me" and DS said "Because you always have such good ideas!" and DD was completely disarmed and said "Well you do, too!" and DS said "Not as good as you, you do a weally gweat job"
