I have always been soft but am much worse since having kids!! I cry at everything from school concerts to winning at netball!!!

I get SO MUCH more emotional now as a parent than I ever did before, I cry over newspaper articles, documentaries or anything like that involving children and I could die happily if my last sight was of my son sleeping peacefully in bed at night, so cute and heartwarming to see his content little face. I also realised I have become more maternal towards other kids as well, I was waiting in the school reception the other day and there were 2 young lads in there feeling ill, one started to do the reaching thing so I went over and sat with him while he was being sick and rubbed his back and looked after him .. all the while I was thinking, what has happened to me!???

I'm not normally a 'softie' but after I'd had DC1 I watched Edward Scissor Hands (I'd watched this film at least ten times before I became a mum) and I literally sobbed for over an hour afterwards 😭 I was so sad that Edward didn't have a mum to look after him and I've never been able to watch it since🙈

At night when DS is alseep

When I see the films from projects that charities have helped with & want to help more, I can't hold it together

I've always been a softie, but definitley more so since having kids. I cry at lots of things, soap opera weddings etc.

School plays always really made me cry (even the one where my twins had a fight on the stage, half way through!).

Most recently I cried my eyes out when my 21 year old son surprised me by coming home for Mother's Day last week.

Since having children I get emotional at so many more things on tv than I ever used to. Mainly things where a child has done something which makes you feel proud.

I usually start crying on tv shows with real stories especially if it includes kids. No matter if they show sad or happy!

My kids when they tell me little stories of their day. And at the moment due to pregnancy hormones every movie i watch apparently makes me cry!!

Watching The Voice final on Saturday. Jamie looked really embarrassed when his Dad cried and tried to cuddle him. I just wanted him to give his Dad a big hug and know that he will never experience the love again that you receive from your parents.

I can be very emotional sometimes and not always with real live events, when someone dies in a soap I often shed a tear

Omg all the time lately.....when do your hormones go back to normal after having a baby??!!!!! I well up just watching little fluffy animals on YouTube...... I cried at the end of dirty dancing last week too! My partner & son looked at me like I was crazy..... my daughter has just gone 5 months so I'm hoping my hormones go back to normal sooooooon!!

Going to cat protection for a kitten and ending up with two because they were brother and sister and I couldn't bear to separate them ! What a softee !

when we were due to move house, my DD came home so pleased that she had got the part in the nativity, she was also due to move schools and I cried so much at the thought of her missing it.. I rented our old house as well as the new one for a whole month so she didn't miss it, she was the best lead star I have ever seen

when people know to ask me for things because I'm too much of a yes woman

I thought I was hard as nails until I gave birth and well my tears fell and even more when they done their 1st play sending them off to school for the 1st day. Oh my lol big softy hear lol x

I'm not one to get emotional, but the day my little niece said to me she wanted her legs to be poorly so she could be in a wheelchair just like me was just so touching.....bless her!

Any time my daughter says "mummy" with her sweet voice! She's just learning to talk :-)

I think I am quite a hard nut but listening to my daughter playing the piano really cracked me up.

other peoples weddings turn me in to an emotional wreck! seeing other people so happy turns me in to a right softie. I thought I'd be a blubbering mess on my wedding day, but I somehow held it together, the same however can't be said for my son Reece who was 7 at the time. this photo captures just how much of a softie he is, must get it from me!

i cried at the 1st harry potter when harry says bye to hagrid at the train station

Im generally a big softy anyway but I realise it most when Im giving in to crocodile tears.

I do tend to weep over certain things or the tv . The worst film to make me cry is 'the notebook ' at the end . Which is a shame because I love that film lol. I also get weepy when my daughters are doing something special like the other week my daughters first school photos started me off 😆

it would be nice to get the app so I could still read or post on the boards while I am out, but the app isn't available for the windows phone.

I cry at literally everything. I cry when my cat purs, when DP looks happy, when our friends are happy, at songs, at films. I'm like a fountain
