Parenting in the 21st century

You know...being a mother was always a dream of mine..something I never thought I'd get a chance to become till I met my husband. We both shared our dream of having a family and have both made the others dream come true...but man is it hard.

There is not a day that goes by when I don't thank God for my kids, that I don't stare at them with awe, that I sometimes tear up with the thought that they came from me. I often find myself wondering where their cuteness comes from and jokingly say "must be from your father".

This past year has been the hardest for me...with issues on the home front, with how Fox's behavior has changed just since his sister was born...and now Nevada is taking on those saucy traites. It's hard...and has definitely taken a toll on me but it's something I'd not change for all the money in the world.

I often wonder how anyone can have children and get nanny's to raise them. I have nothing against nanny's..I think every parent needs some alone time but being able to watch my childrens firsts of everything...that is what becoming a parent is all about. To see the look on their faces when they've accomplished something as little as putting their bowl in the sink..priceless.

Nope...as hard as parenting is and can be worse at times...I'd not change things for anything in the world...my children are my life!

I agree...it is the hardest job in the whole world, but also the most rewarding job.
Oh and I hate to tell you, but it gets harder as they get older. There are so many new and scary issues as they start to leave the shelter of their home and go to school and other places with friends.

Good thing they are cute right?
