Brag about your children - Page 3

He may be that old, but you are certainly not. It is a little known law of the metaphysical biology of motherhood that children age twice as fast as their mothers. This is true even during early adolescence despite the tendency of mothers to sprout grey hair and wrinkles during this time. These apparent signs of aging are merely symptoms of stress, known in scientific circles as "pseudo-geriatricitis." It passes with the birth of the first grandchild, when the stress is automatically transferred to the new parents.

I like you Shanazel!! I found my first grey hair the week my daughter was born. 14 years later I have many more and wrinkles, and I am definitely hoping that she inherits some of them (after all, she gave 'em to me!).
My wonderful son is 16 nearly 17 and is riding his motorbike everywhere after having got his license! Yay! He is finally learning to over-ride the adolescent grunt and smell phase but hasn't quite got over eating everything in sight.
My daughter is learning bellydance, but spends more time in front of the mirror preening than actually dancing. She's gorgeous but waaaaaayy too slim and leggy to do justice to the dance yet. Needs to develop curves - tiny wee boobs that don't sag just don't cut it really. NOT that I am jealous, no way, no how...sigh... I remember when....

AND...he carried all the dirty laundry down to the basement for me to do. I hate that job and I was grateful that he did it without having me to ask him.

hmm.. maybe I should get a kid to brag about... All my friends are getting pregnant, it's baby-hysteria! I would prefer to wait two, three years though. Hope this thread is still alive by that time

KuteNurse · 03-30-2008, 08:17 PM

I was thinking the same thing reading this thread, but I still feel I am too young to really be able to care for children yet.
