the things kids say

tonight as I was coming home from work heading to my little hous alone, I got a call from my daughter. She had gone to my stbx's house. She looked around at what a hermit my stbx had become and how in her words"nothing" his life was.

She said, "you are so fun and young acting mom, you deserve to have someone as fun and young as you, you love life and you deserve to be loved the way you love.
I cried so hard.

I forgot about me I was working so hard on making my marriage work.
anyway, with the holiday season here, (first one without stbx) i need all the encouragement I can get.
anyone else feel the support from their kids?

My kids have been a great support through all of this and I have heard from them something very similar. I have a 22 year old, 20 year old twins and an 18 yr. old. They watch out for me and seem to say just the right thing when I'm feeling my lowest. This is our first holiday too and while things will be different, I like to think they are different in a good way--with much more love, laughter and peach then in years before.

Yes, your kids are the best support in the world,, from the youngest with the little arms that hold you tight to the older ones that say,, you know what you are cool!
I am glad you have that!

My two kids have been one of my biggest supports. I have a wonderful relationship with both, I went away for 4 days, my daughter called as soon as we landed - told me -oh mom so glad your back, i've missed you terribly she's 17 - this morning I wore my new coat, my son was dropping me off at work - and he said - wow mom you are lookin good - he's 20 and I am so proud of them both!

My children have been amazing. I get the best hugs and support from them. Also my 17 year old daughters friends, they come and give me hugs or call me to see how I am doing. This sure would be hard if I didn't have their love and support.

My kids are my heart and soul! They are so loving to me and I greatly happy to have them in my life. They have helped me keep sane. They support me 100% with all that is going on in our lives. I just love them so much!!!!

Same as kulia. Without mine I would be completely lost.

The words of wisdom they have spoken knowingly or not, is amazing isn't it.

Yes, without the support of my boys I would of had a much harder time with it.

Enjoy a Happy Christmas with your Kids.

As for the things kids say...
My twin daughters and I bought our Christmas tree, struggled to carry it up the stairs and upright in the stand when I said that it sure was hard not having a man around, my daughter said no mom, having him around was the hard part....so true!

That is so sweet.

My kids are still little but my daughter who is 5 will sometimes unexpectedly say "mom you're beautiful" and that just blesses my heart.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
