When my dog has eaten my dinner while I went to get a knife and fork then I remember his wee face at the rescue centre and I can't be angry,

I'm the biggest softy, I always want to see other happy, what gets me the most is when my sons cries my heart melts

I thought as the kids got older I would stop being a softie but nowadays any kind of celebration, be it birthday, exam success, waving them off etc. seems to bring a big lumpto my throat and a tear escapes - so maybe I have alwasy been a big softie!

I just can't bear to see anyone cry even more so than a child, it hurts so much it's painful. But I realised I was a complete softee when our try at farming looking after an oprhan lamb became our pet, never eaten a Lamb since. She died of old age.

I must be a softy as I struggle to tell my daughter offend she tends to get away with murder. Good job her dads not quite as soft to keep her on the straight and narrow!

I had agreed to go see some Jack Russel/Pug puppies with my girlfriend mainly to keep her happy as we were looking for a dog but I didn't think it was the right time to get one. Having a look at the litter when one of them climbs over all her brothers and sisters heads, gets to my lap and just flops down. So it turns out I'm the bigger softie out of us two and was begging her to let us keep her.

I'm such a big softy,I cry so easily that I annoy myself,I've cried at news reports,reading papers,television shows and as for funerals I could be a professional mourner,I've had to go with my mum to funerals and even if I don't the person I cry and break my heart and when I see their families cry it sets me off again.I wish I wasn't like this,I really think I'm the biggest softy ever,I even cry at happy things,there are times I think all I do is cry and yet I'm a happy person !

When I started to cry at all of the animal charity adverts - I want to help them all!!

I'm due to run the London marathon later this month for a local Hospice in memory of my aunt and uncle who recently passed away there. I only found out I was running in February as I'd been on the charities reserve list. I'm no runner and have literally had to work my way up with the couch to 5k programme. I'm exhausted and I permanatly ache. I have cried whilst running the past few runs as I've had to really focus why I'm doing this to push myself to carry on!

im a right softy, my sons used to say to me when i went to watch then at school in play, please dont cry its embarrassing lol x

I realised I was a softy when I was around 7years old. I watched the film Fly Away Home where she raises the geese and place the eggs in her draw. I copied her and wrapped the eggs from the fridge in my socks hoping they would hatch. I was devastated a couple of days later when I told my mum the geese in my socks still hadn't hatched. She then threw them away.

i realised i was a softy when my baby was born a year ago now everything she does melts my heart, i cant say no to her and im so sad whenever im away from her, i get emotional all the time with any aspect of her developing as she makes me so proud, shes made me a etter person

I have to put on a tough front a lot of the time in day to day life, but I'm a softy with my kids. I get a bit emotional and tearful at all my kids assemblies as I'm so proud of them and they are growing up so fast!
I'm also tough with the kids when they are playing up and taking liberties, but when I watch them playing and they are back to their sweet little selves they can just wrap me round their little fingers again!

i realised i was a big softy when i recently had to have a finger prick test at the doctors,"youve had 3 children,so this wont hurt" the nurse said ,oh my goodness ,ive never felt pain like it

I think for me, it has to be those moments when your kids have gotten on every single last nerve you have and you go to check on them before bed and quite literally almost melt at their cute faces sound asleep, dreaming away. I am a big softy at heart!

i new i was asoftey when i my eldest had her first tempertantrum , and i gave in !

I have made two sometimes thre meals for my little man as he changes his mind constantly on what he's having for tea.... certainly makes me a softy

I cried endlessly at Lion - the film. Seeing how the children struggled and fought to survive, made me think of my own children and it made me very emotional. I also cried at the happy ending, realising how much they had fought to get to that point xxx

When I cry at animated movies... Like the ending of Toy Story 3, and Moana! 😪

I cry really easily now, at the silliest things!

every single time my daughter gives me that look and i somehow come out of the shop with a magazine and 3 kinder eggs.... I'm such a softie

I am a big softy because i will not go to bed until my animals are in

I realised what a softy I am when a friend sent me a link to the mamma mia song and video 'slipping through my fingers' on the day my pfb daughter started high school. O M G I was a snivelling wreck for the rest of the day. Just thinking now how damn quick childhood is has set me off!

When DD says Mama rather than the usual muuuuuummmmy. She knows what she's doing when she does it - I just melt!!

And whenever I watch her on stage - I turn into a blubbering wreck. I have to pinch myself that this fabulous little girl is mine.

My husband played 'smike' in a school play when he was little and often tries to start singing the song he had to do as a solo. As soon as the words 'never had a mum or dad to call my own' start I have to make him stop or I end up in floods of tears!
