Thank you lazyj for the laugh. I needed that

kate...

rejection to my son of a male model in his life.... unfortunately im the one who paid the price...lashed out his anger on me... i so love that boy!!!! turned out a good young man though im thankful i had him even thru all the tough times..and proud to have been in his life through all his tough times he had

Twice have been the hardest moments. The first was finally hearing my boy had autism and the severity of this horrific disease. Any parent out here who has experienced that lump in your stomach as the baby doesnt progress like NORMAL wee ones do? Well...that lump turned into a BOLDER as my heart sank to my chest and SHATTERED that afternoon. I cried on the tailgate of my truck b4 even attempting the 100 mile trip home. I never felt so helpless and alone in my lifetime. First it was my boys premature birth at 28 weeks, then the autism and seizures.
I went home, dropped to my knees and never prayed for more help in my life. My prayers I will say have started to be answered. My boy is truly an inspiration and my hero. He talks, reads, writes and gets straight A's. But the second time was when he was five. I noticed him stumbling more and having a difficult time going down stairs. I reckon it was just DEEENIAL as a mom bcuz lets face it! after all the disabilities who would want to admit to the CEREBAL PALSY i saw. His teacher on thanksgiving eve at the school pointed to him and said Diane LOOK. I watched my boy going down cafeteria stairs and my heart BROKE a second time 3 days later hearing his neurologist with the "your son has CEREBAL PALSY". Thank GOD more prayers answered. His is mild and i keep his muscles stretched and he doesnt require any braces or medications for this birth accident. Every night i pray for my child and put gratitude into my attitude. There are ALOT of wee ones and parents who have it much worse. I remember being VERY ANGRY AT GOD. Not now. I am grateful for this true blessing he has given me in my dance called LIFE. MY SON!!

The hardest parenting moment was telling my kids there parents were getting a devorse.The day she walked out on the kids and me.Was worst day can I remember That has caused more hard parenting moments since

hardest is trying to console my son because his dad hasnt seen him since christmas..i get all the anger now but i know the tide will turn.

i think the hardest thing is being a mother period.....especially if your a single mother like me. everyday is a strugle but in the end when you look into your kids eyes.....it is all worth it. You have NEVER worked full time until you become a mother

ya got that right..4 kids and you still have a full head of hair..God Bless!!

what was hard for me, in general, when she was a baby, was when you wanted to do so much for your child, but could only do so much at a given time... and my baby deserves so much more... (now she's completely spoiled, but i'm just saying...)

Haveing to lie to my 9 and 6 year old daughters about why mommy left us for another man. That really sucked.

lie to them is never a good thing

it will come back to bite ya

just answer truthfully giveing as few details as possible

your lieing to them just gave them the

right to say you lied to us

so don't lecture me about lieing

but ey what do i know

Having my child ripped away from my arms. Looking at the sadness and fear in his eyes and knowing there was nothing I could do about it to comfort him and make him feel better. I wish that on no parent.

i almost know that feeling whisper

it happens way to often

and is way to easy to have happen

My worst parenting moment came this past February when my son had a sledding accident. He hit a tree sideways but only came home sore, with a small bruise on his side. It wasn't until 2 days later that we realized there was something else wrong. Turns out, he'd bounced his insides around and had some pretty serious internal bleeding, and lost a kidney. A week in the hospital, 2 weeks at home in bed but now, you'd never know there was anything wrong. I'm blessed, though, to have raised a son who can make kidney pie and pate jokes.

BTW, I'm new here, so Hi everyone!

my hardest moment so far... and with 4 babes i kno there will be amny more,

about 6 months after my ex and i split up i was driving in the car with my children, my 4 year old son looks at me and says... "mommie my dadie is dead isnt he?" i said "no" my 6 year old daughter says " no he isnt dead, he just doesnt care about us any more"
it was so hard to put aside my feelings of hurt and anger to try and explain to them that daddie and mommie just couldnt live together anymore, but that their daddie still loves them, and he is NOT dead....

oh and welcome suzan

Thanks, Izzie! Tough being a Mom, isn't it? But, despite many hard times, it's the best thing I've ever done with my life.
