When I sent out a help message to every other parent/friend I had when dd lost her snuggly bunny .. luckily it was just hiding

Since having my daughter i cry at everything sad on television especially Eastenders, 24 hours in A&E and anything charity related. I am a big soppy sausage!

Even when something happy is happening, i shed a tear! xx

Whenever I watch anything about the 1st or 2nd World War it makes me cry hsterically. To think of the horrors our grandads went through to give us a free life today makes me really sad. Remembrance Day always has me in floods of tears!

when i'm sat trying to make my little girl eat her tea and she put her head coyley to one side and smiles and says "mummy, where has your happy face gone" that totally melts my heart

When I well up looking at old pictures haha

As I looked down and feed my babies I ached for time to stand still.

Ok - wrong time to talk about being a softie - I have liquid hormones running down my face most of the time at the moment. As a foster carer I keep a lot of OTT softie moments locked away for private moments but I see and hear so much that I might come across as a 'professional' but inside I am a Marshmallow

I've always known that I'm a softy but I realised just how much when I entered the world of work. I just was not prepared for how two-faced and backstabbing certain people could be - I was very naive and I definitely learned the hard way! One thing I have absolutely decided though is that I will never let go of my values and stoop to that level - I guess I've just hardened myself enough to know that when people behave in a certain way, it's their problem not mine!

I can be so annoyed with my boys over something they've done and they only have to give me a hug or say I love you Mum and I turn into a big softy and more or less forgive them anything

I know I'm a softy because:

*I always cry at Titanic even though I've seen it 100 times
*I would cuddle and kiss my hubby constantly if he would let me
*I love my children sleeping in my bed because I love cuddling them
*I say 'I love you' to my children about 50 times a day
*I cried when I walked down the aisle and saw my hubby
*I cried when my children were born

When my little boy smiles. It turns me into a super softy soft softy. I cant help it.

Crying whilst watching Bambi

When I end up feeding all the stray cats and dogs that I always manage to find on my holidays and I can't take them home.

I cried watching the school play the other night. Any sort of theatrical stuff sets me off

Becoming a parent made me become a total softy! Things that would never bother me, make me ball my eyes out now! I even cry at Eastenders!! and oh god Marley and Me!
But the biggest thing that makes me a total softy is my son. I always thought that I would stick to my words when I had children, but it is so difficult when they are just so cute! Whenever my son goes on the naughty step, he pulls this very sad face and I have to use all of my willpower not to go and cuddle him! and when he learns something new, like he has just started to blend sounds and read, it makes me want to cry of joy!
So yes, i confess, complete softy!! :D

I cried like a baby at the recent Rio Ferdinand documentary about his relationship with his three DCs following the death of his wife to cancer. It was very moving and I am super grateful for what I have at home.

I think I already knew I was /am a softy and quite proud of it. but my son realised when he came home from Uni to find the birthday card that he has sent me still on my bedside table after 9 months

I think I've always been a softy - I love children and animals - you can't get much softer than that!

It takes alot to crack my exterior but having kids is one of the most emotional things I've ever experienced!

When my little girl says 'Sorry, Mummy' if she bumps into me, tearing up every time. Also most movies with sad moments get to me.

I'm quite pragmatic about nearly everything but I'm a pushover when it comes to the cats. I've even given up on a rare chance of a lie in when one hasn't been well and I thought he'd like a sleep in peace and quiet on the bed. And they usually get better food than I do!

When my children tell me they love me, never fails to make me teary.

anytime my grandchildren smile at me :)

Crying at soppy films, welling up watching my son asleep, school assemblies, when we got our pet baby tortoise and she was terrified to go out into the garden(she rules the roost now and the garden birds are terrified...!) And many more have made me realise I'm a big softie!
