Question for women who have kids only?

I had my kids very young. I sort of felt that way, but I decided that having my children so young would give me plenty of time when I was older to experience life. My kids were all 18 by the time I was 41. My husband and I have been traveling the world. We have time and money, something I didn’t have when I was younger. Life is good.
Sometimes you have to “choose” how you will react to things. When I found out I was going to be a teen mother I had choices. I could abort (not an option for me spiritually) I could get depressed, or I could embrace the idea. I chose the last. I loved being a mom and growing up with my kids. Finding the positive in every situation has served me well.

Thanks to whoever gave me fluve! I was feeling bad because I haden’t gotten any fluve all day! :-(

Yes I did! It seems like all I did was blink, and now she is a Mom herself. Just this morning she told me she feels kind of sad because her son is already 3 months, so the same is happening to her!

Absolutely! I also feel that way when they reach milestones, like going to school, turning into teens, etc. I think the nostalgia is part of the process and part of the fear. Time does fly.

Nothing in the world makes time fly like having a child.

But, oh, is the journey worth occassional bouts of melancholy and moments of hair pulling frustration. Those sweet smiles, hugs and kisses just melt my heart.
