What have your children taught you?

[Catastrophic]

Love - They taught me to love like no one else could, I could never imagine to love a person the way that I do my kids, from the first time I knew they were inside me... It's that kinda love that will over power any other feeling - it's the most amazing feeling in this world.

My son has taught me that a mother's role might be to nurture but it is important to be nurtured too.

Lately I've been a bit emotional and I'll often say things like "I'm losing it." Or "I feel so angry" as I often do as I always express my emotion openly. Well lately every time I say that lately DS will come running and wrap his arms around me and bury his head into my chest and I melt. And then he'll say "Is that better? Is it going away now." And it works every time. Sometimes I have to fight back the tears. He tells me he has magic cuddles. I know they say a mother's kiss heals all... but so does a child's love...

How to enjoy the simple pleasures of a lie in and quiet time.

Rouge that's beautiful.

Mine have taught me that I'm a yeller

I'm also really good at doing the puzzles they pull out and don't put back. But they have taught me how to have fun again and that it's important to laugh every day.

that a simple bedtime story and goodnight kiss is the best bandaid for a bad day.

Must say my initial response to the heading was "my kids have taught me the true meaning of frustration" ... but that's only cos I'm TTing DS1 and poo-in-the-undies is driving me batty LOL.

My kids have taught me that it is possible to be so full of love my heart could burst, so full of frustration my head could explode and so full of giggles, cuddles and kisses from two little boys that my arms will never be long enough to keep them close to me at all times like I might wish. They will grow up too fast.

This brought a tear to my eye! What a truly beautiful little man.

The most important thing my DD has taught me is how jumping around the room can always bring a smile to your face no matter how bad your day is
She treats everyone with so much tenderness and wants to make sure that everyone is always included. It reminds me to take a moment and reflect on how I treat others.
