Children need love...

Saw this statement today and it's kind of hit home...when I'm disappointed, cross, upset etc with my own boys I don't always want to show so much love and affection towards them...so I feel that maybe I should just try to be a little more 'chilled' with them.

Anyone else feel this way?

Its hard isnt it. To take a step back and think....when we are upset cross or frustraited sometimes we jist need a cuddle and someone to.say now now come on its ok...to make us feep better...... without thinkin when kids....especially ur own (i have 3 sons lol yep deffo my own) are driving u up the wall with their whining moaning and arguing and in my eldest case now he is 6...the world not fair im not fair i ruin his life bla bla..... maybe we need to stop more give them a hug or show a way to them that its ok to feel like that....and im here for you and love u

I hear you! Thanks for the reminder!

I'm with you too!

This really made me stop and think, so thank you!!
I have 3 of my own kiddies, 2 girls age 10 & 7 from first relationship and an 18 month old boy.
My 10 year old daughter, is the most difficult child a lot of the time and had been since she was little. I struggle on a daily basis with her and have endless arguments which she starts for no reason and always has to have the last say. My fiancé (father of my little boy) finds it very difficult and doesn't get a long with her very well, which is heart breaking

I have tried everything I can possibly think of but I know that it's just who she is and I should just try and not let if get to me... This little msg has really given me a different way of seeing things, so thank you. I'm gonna give this a go

Not that I don't already tell her I love her, I do but maybe bit enough when she needs it the most!! Xx

Definitely need a reminder of this at times!!

Thanks for sharing . I also saw a quote the other day that said something like ..when ***** most needs love they ask for it in the most unlovable way .
