best - those occasional fleeting moments when they look at you in just the right way or say just the right thing or give you just the right hug

worst - not getting it right or not feeling that you're getting it right

Best thing- lying in bed with them, stroking their little faces and feeling my heart bursting with love for them.

Worst thing- how quickly they grow up.

Best thing: giggles! Comes from having that special 'connection'

Worst thing: No 'me' time!

Best thing: experiencing unconditional love
Worst thing: being on call 24/7, year in, year out

best thing- Having " Mummy i love you this much" followed by kiss and hug
worst thing- never have enought time to do things

Best thing: Watching them when they are totally absorbed in their own little world with silly voices and singing.
Worst thing: Most days always seem like a rush.

best thing:when your stroppy teen actually talks sense and you think good god I must have done something right!!

worst thing: They tell you how to get pregnant. They tell you how to cope with the various stages but they dont tell you how you will feel whwn they finally leave home!!

Best thing: Seeing the world through your childrens eyes.

Worst thing: Knowing that one day you wont be able to make everything all better with a kiss, a cuddle & 'magic cream'.

Favourite thing - watching my lovely boys starting to play together

Worst thing - about 10 nights of uindisturbed sleep in the last 4 and 1/2 years

Favourite - the look in their eyes that says you are the most important person in their world

Worst - Not being able to live up to being good enough to be that important person

worst thing - no lie-ins or that blissful deep sleep (always listening out for them)

best thing - the love that makes you feel like your heart will explode, and seeing them happy and healthy

best thing - when they are all giggling together

worst thing - having to start "work" the second I wake up am woken up in the morning

Best has to be the first time they say I love you (and every other time actually)

Worst is when you can't help feeling guilty every time you allow them some independance eg. pre-school - they love it, you torture yourself thinking you've thrown your child to the wolves ...

Best Thing: Watching how proud they are when they learn something new

Worst Thing: Lack of sleep

Worst thing is having to look after a young child when you are ill. You can't retire to your bed like pre child days!

Best thing is how much they bring to your family and how you cannot imagine life without them now you have them

Best: when they cling to your knees and look at you with a look of pure love and total devotion.

Worst: when they cry and you can't help them

Best Thing: I get to act like a right idiot and be part of their world, where everything is new and exciting!

Worst Thing: Not being able to just take off and be spontaneous !

Best thing: Being able to experience Baby love which is like nothing else in the world, no one else will adore you in quite the same way.

Worst thing:Knowing that a part of your heart will forever be outside your body, you will never be able to not worry about small things ever again.

Best thing, looking at my five children and six grandchildren and knowing this is MY family and feeling so proud.

Worst thing, When you find out someone has hurt them and you didn't know.

Best thing, Sitting at the head of the table at Christmas with my wife, five children,(plus partners) six grandchildren and a few straglers and knowing this is MY family.

Worst thing, When someone hurts them and you didn't know.

Worst thing - getting grumpy because there aren't enough hours in the day after working etc and then feeling guilty for getting grumpy

Best - being called mummy, snuggles in bed, being given special pictures she's drawn, being sung special songs she's made up, just admiring her

Best thing: when the sprog finally falls asleep

Worst thing: the ("for THIS I knackered my pelvic floor?") possibility of the sprog growing up to be one of those people forever tapping away on their mobile-effin' phones.

Best - my lovely little grinny sleepy-head when she first wakes up in the morning. All smiles and eyes only for me.

Worst - soooo much washing!

The best thing is the feeling of love and pride that you feel when you have a cuddle or watch them do something for he first time.

The hardest thing is dealing with how much you worry about them, especially when you watch the news and know what dangers can be out there. And I know that feeling of concern for them will never stop, even when they are all grown up.

The best thing is the love and pride you feel when you hold them, or when you see them do something for the first time.

The hardest thing is dealing with how much you worry about them. Even when they grow up. The first time they go on holiday with just their mates and other terrifying stuff like that.
