what has children/pregnancy taught you ??

[SorenLorensen]

this has prob been asked befor but,

DP and i were just talking about how much everything has changed since having DD, and for the better. we have learnt so much and grown as people from it.


DD has taught me the importance of time and how precious it really is, how i need to take every moment in time and use it to its fullest.

that even though bad things happen good things do too, and i cant let the bad get me down

the main thing she has taught me is to have fun and the simple things really is all that matters, just little things like picking a flower, a rock in a bottle and shaking it, the noise a tube of carboard makes when you hit it on things....everything that befor her i would have taken for granted


so what is it that you have learnt form your children/pregnancy ???

[~rambox~]

I have learnt that you have a lot of love to give.

I have learnt patience

And that boys can be really gross :barf: :laughing:

[EmsMum72]

To make the most of everyday, to enjoy every moment I have with my DD because she is the best thing that I have ever done; that my DH and I are responsible for teaching our DD so much in life, to protect her and love her unconditionally. Looking back I wish I'd appreciated being pregnant a bit more cause we're having so much trouble getting pregnant again.

[mumx3littlies]

I've learned tons of stuff but a few things are that when you're due date is nearing you dont care how much it'll hurt to have the baby you just want it out NOW, lots of patience, that kids are so precious, and that you can love someone else sooooo much:D

Becoming a parent as taught me heaps

- to take care of myself
- to eat healthy and for my kids to eat healthy
- to be a fantastic role model
- to be involved and an active member in the community
- to socialise appropriately
- to stop feeling sorry for myself and work my butt of for my fam.

Since the birth of my babies I have learnt:1.That I can live with no sleep 2.That DP can sleep through absolutely anything:sleeping: 3.That baby poo can leak out of any nappy on the market.:eek: 4.That the tiniest things can amuse for ages.5.That playing in mud and splashing in puddles is fun.6.That there is no privacy in the shower or on the loo.7.I have more patience,understanding and compassion. 8.I have learnt the true meaning of unconditional love.9.I have learnt that I am a stronger person than I ever thought I was.10.That crayon does come off walls.11.That my children inspire me to be a better person.12.That I can lose all track of time when playing with or watching my children play.13.That a hug or kiss from my children fills me with absolute happiness.14.That boys love to climb. Most of all I have learnt that being a Mum to my 2 Beautiful,Happy,Healthy,Wonderful,Adorable children makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world. I know that I have a lot more to learn but I absolutely can't wait. We must enjoy every moment with our little ones,as time goes by so quickly and they grow up way too fast.

I've learnt that no matter how much my girls infuriate me sometimes, I can't stop loving them. :hugs:

Great thread. :thumbsup:

[SassyMummy]

I've learnt how selfless I can be. While I still wish I could do things for myself ONLY more often, I don't NEED to like I used to.

I've learnt what kids are like. I didn't know anything about them until I had DD.

Having DD has helped me understand my own mother a whole lot better. Why she did what she did, why she was so strict, etc. It makes sense.

[mumski]

I've learnt more about myself, I'm stronger than I thought and I can do lots of things I didn't even know I could before. I've learnt about life and what really matters and what is just not important at all. I've learnt that even though babies are really small they can teach you all sorts of things. I've learnt to be confident and follow my own instincts. And I have so much more respect and compassion for mothers everywhere because now I understand.

[Lozie]

Since having children i have learnt:

Not to take others peoples cr@p it just not worth my time or effort,
My children come before anyone or anything (even Dh)
I dont live for myself I breath for my children.
I can get thru anything.

Pregnancy taught me:
How to throw up with out making a sound:idea:
If I drank before i ate i would throw up
People form their own opinions on ur circumstances with asking or knowing you as a person
How quickly "friends" can disappear:rolleyes:

That babies are EXPENSIVE!!:eek: :laughing:
