Feeling age through your child’s age..
For those of you who are reading this and whose children are adolescents you will probably have a good laugh at this. Last week my oldest son turned ten years old. I felt quite old at the fact that I have a ten year old son. He really is no longer a kid anymore and is kind of a pre teenager. I know that the challenges are going to come my way over the next few years. He is a fabulous boy with a wonderful disposition and very kind and caring heat. However I am aware that things may change as he approaches the teenage years.
My little one is six and half years old and I know when she turns seven this year, it will really hit me that we have no more babies at home.
In many ways I prefer the stage that they are at now to when they were infants. Don’t get me wrong, they were cute and adorable when they were infants. But, I do feel that I enjoy them in a different way now and I am certainly not as tired and exhausted as I was when they were infants.
You feel old when you kid is 10! You are so lucky! I felt old at every of their birthday! I’m hopeless, ain’t I?! So can you imagine how old I am feeling now? - super old!
Same here, I love them when they were still a helpless little baby, that does nothing but drink milk, sleep and lie on your bosom and smile at you….hhhmmmmm… really miss those days!
I must say they are very cute when they are new borns but I don’t miss the lack of sleep at all.
Although I feel old having a ten year old son and will feel older each year, I still prefer this age to new born even though I never thought I’d say that.
hahaha!! you felt that your old when your child turned 10. but its nice to have a pre teenager child.
why you make another baby?
Another baby, are you crazy? I may feel old but I love having a ten year old.
We have 5 children and they grow more precious every day. I must admit I don’t feel old now that my children have grown (the youngest is 19) I only realise I am older when I count up how old I am!
