Mine seem to be. Very loving and cuddly. All the time. Even when we've had a row. They are always saying nice things to me - last night DS#1 was making avatars on his X-box for all of us and when he was making mine I kept telling him to make mine fatter to be like me (joke) and both DS#1 and DD were aghast - 'but mummy you are *thin"! . And they ask how my day went and are always wanting me to do sit down and rest.

Now all that is lovely and I soak up all the cuddles and love that is available of course But I do wonder if it's normal for them to be so loving and concerned for me. Surely a 13yr old boy and a 10yr old boy should be more self-centred than that? Isn't that more usual?

I have suffered from depression and at one point I told them. I reckoned it was better to let them know that I had been 'ill' and was getting better so that they knew things were under control and that there was some rational reason for mummy being such a mad explosive horrible human being for a while. Now I am thinking they are worried about me and that if they aren't nice I might revert. Is that likely?

i sometimes think my DC aged 22months is! when I had a fall out with CM he was less keen to go there and when a weird tramp was at my dads door he got all upset, I once had a go at an old lady cos she upset my Mum! Its blood.

I see where you are coming from, but stay happy and enjoy your lovely DC

Yes, ds(10). I'm a single mum so he's all I've known IYSWIM. He's always offering to make me drinks/food, asking if I'm OK, wants to rub my leg if I bash myself, wants to know what I am writing on here etc. It can get quite annoying, I'm the parent. It's lovely that he cares but it can get overwhelming.
