Failure to Thrive Remidies--Pam

July 23, 2003

It really is different when it is your own kids where patience is

concerned. )

It can be a challenge adjusting to parenting or more to the changes

that occur in your life when you become pg and have a child. This is

a life changing thing. There is no way around it. Everything does

change, though the major changes end when the baby grows and become

more independant. But while the are small, they take your time and

attention fully. They really do have to be first priority during

this time, however, it is a very short time in the whole scheme of

things. For you will blink and that little baby will be leaving home

starting a life of thier own. When you think about it from that

perspective, it is so easy to give of yourself 100% for the time they

are little and dependant.

That's a really good analogy.

I know that parents comment on " time " and how fleeting it is when they watch

there kids grow. Time is fleeting enough w/o kids. I bet the days seem

forever tho when raising kids but the years fly. I wouldn't go into

motherhood w/o the patience of a saint regardless of the trying times ( I

would hope anyway).

Thanx for all you peoples/mommies perspectives, keep them coming because

they really are well recepted not to mention this unique opportunity for

sharing such a sacred gift, the gift of life.

Oh Pam... when you see that little face it changes everything.. yes there are tough times but there are good too. If you're meant to have them you will. I firmly believe that God does not give you anything you can't handle. You just have to realize you can.

And yes they grow up and leave, but you know what, they come back... and the relationship is usually better than ever.
