To all of you with little kids...

My HS senior daughter and I today went thru our family albums looking for a baby picture of her to include in her senior yearbook. I have been weeping all day.
As bad as it seems sometimes when you are raising them, the pain letting go is just too unbearable. Please remember this when you think you have reached the end of your rope. I am one of those terrible liberal parents who raised two kids who turned out so darn perfect.

2. Thanks for the hug

Yes, they do..I just don't know where the time went...My sister-in-law couldn't wait for her kids to get out of the house...I truly don't know where that sentiment is coming from...I guess I wish my kids would be dinks, but they aren't and I am just going to miss both of them so much when they leave for college.

3. Awww

Having raised four (2 mine and 2 step) VERY unperfect children. (Everything from a soldier to a punkrocker) I feel for you, but I have to tell you having the house to me and my husband is so good. They're all doing well now. I was a grandma before the youngest two were out of the house, and I think that helped. And now I'm a grandma again! This is cooler that I can express. Sounds like you probably have to wait a while, (assuming, of course your kids want kids!)But it's worth it! Big hugs:hug:

Little buggers do grow up fast. My niece is graduating from college this year. She was born the year I graduared from high school.
