I realised I had become a softie after my son was born. Things which would not normally have affected me now reduce me to tears. Films, animal programmes and 24 hours in A&E amongst a few!

Using hot water bottles except in August!

I cry over any depiction of abused/neglected children or animals. I cry when children are bullied by parents or other children. I am also a softy regarding the clothes we wear, bed linen, blankets etc which I like to be soft. I also get upset over our materialistic, competitive world, a world we are over populating and trashing - bet you wish you'd never asked!!

I still sob every time I watch The Lion King!

watching those proud moment in plays at school or when their teacher tells you hes a superstar!

I've always been a big softie!
Last year we paid £150 adoption fee for a dog - oh, and just over £400 to fly him over from Cyprus!

I became more of a softy after having my children, I become emotional at their achievements, I cry at the slightest thing these days, but I didn't before I became a mum.

Normally quite unemotional but when my daughter does something I am really proud of I well up, we were told the other day at nursery that she's quite bright, just to have someone else say it made me really proud. I thought I was biased.

Definitely sad movies get to me and recently seeing my daughter in pain! It's bad enough when I'm in pain, but seeing my little one cry is worse!

When my daughter's sad puppy eyes come out.

Total softy since having kids. Ridiculous really. But the smell they get when they're poorly always makes me cry. Like a hormonal throw back or something.

That and babies being born on the TV. Guaranteed to get me sobbing.

My neighbours little boy won a great prize. He gave it to a 'special needs' friend - he said "I want to make him smile if I can"

I went out and bought him a replica prize I was so moved and near tears.

I get really emotional when I see people getting surprised. It doesn't even have to be someone in person, very often it is watching short videos of people being reunited or people being recognised for there good deeds or current troubled situation. watching their honest and humbled reaction sets me off.

Am a big softy with my kids I always say am not gonna give into them but I just look at there little faces and big eyes and let them all have what ever they want

I was staying with a friend who lived in Australia. She went to work and left me keys so I could hang out at her place.

While I was there on my own I spotted a cockroach (which are more common over there due to the climate) lying on its back on the dining room floor, trying to flip back into its feet.

I'm normally an animal lover but cockroaches are a bit too ick, even for me.

However, after a day of walking past this cockroach, turtled on the floor, waving at me for help, I began to feel pity for the poor creature and my disgust relented. While I can't bear cockroaches, I could bear less watching one die slowly in front of me when I knew I could save it.

So with the longest stick I could find...I flipped the poor bugger over! And off it scuttled towards the kitchen. No good deed goes unpunished.

i dont need anything to tell me a softy but i even cry at adverts on the tv . Ive always been like that

Crying during a Disney movie

When I saw my sisters scan of my new niece and sobbed my eyes out - don't tell her as I'm usually the strong one

I'm terrible me, if it wasn't for my partner, our DC would be a tearaway as I have no ability at all to be hard!

I'm not sentimental or emotional normally. But the Christmas play at my son's special school makes me well up and sniffle every single year!

I'm a softy because I'm currently laid under a duvet on the hard floor in my poorly 2 year old's room with sick in my hair, but I daren't move to go wash it out in case he wakes up and gets upset I'm not there.

And now the cat has come to sit on me, because technically it's not the bed so he's allowed...

Wee love letters on my pillow at bedtime from my DD and DS usually have me in tears.

I'm usually quite soft when it comes to my kids. I'm always spoiling them. When I took my kids to Disney last year I got emotional seeing there faces light up meeting their favourite characters.

I know I'm a big softy. I can't read or watch anything about children or animals being hurt. I cry when I'm overcome with emotion which seems to happen more s I'm getting older.

It doesn't take much for me, i've always been a softie.
Whenever i see/hear my children i marvel at how far they have come. From being a tiny helpless baby, to being a growing person with their own thoughts, feelings and ideas.
