Posted: 6/1/2006 12:15:54 AM | OK ... I HATE to do this .. but something REALLY just robbed me the wrong way.
Novizio_Mente - you just spoke of humans that have severe issues and dispayed how you have seen the light in their eyes .... Im not going to use the word love, as I dont think you used that term.
My point is this, do you really, after waht you posted and seemingly belive, think that you can tell someone they dont know what love is because they are too young ? ... Do you not think that by doing so you are judging based on your ideas of love?
I can tell you this ... I have a 6 year old ... who loves me... no question ... and she . at 6 years old can tell you WHY she loves me. Shes young, but she knows what love is ..feels like ..and means ... to HER.
most everyone knows what love is, but no two definitions are the same.
Sorry, but I felt that telling someone that they are too young to love simply wasnt kind, nor fair | |

Posted: 6/1/2006 3:54:56 AM | For me, this would be a very difficult question to answer....not because I don't love my daughter, but because I don't believe the bond that should form after birth did for me. Due to complicatoins during her birth, I wasn't able to even see, let alone hold my daughter till she was nearly a week old. I didn't even know I'd had a girl till hours after the birth; I was totally detached.
After bringing her home, I knew what I should do, and how I should feel, but the feeling just wasn't there. She's now 2 years old, and I fall more and more in love with her every day. For most people it is a natural feeling, but it is something I have had to learn...a learning process I enjoy more every day. | |

Posted: 6/1/2006 7:56:32 AM | I love my kids coz they're not ur average teenagers, they don't drink on street corners, smoke, take drugs or be disrespectful to their elders. Being a single parent is the hardest job in the world but when they reach the same age as mine & don't behave badly who gets the credit?................. Me (Gold star 4 me, lol)
My kids bring out the best (& worst sometimes) in me
They pamper 2 my needs as i do theirs
They wipe my tears as i do theirs
They kiss my poorly (!!!!)better as i do theirs
They help with my homework (college) as i do theirs
They encourage me in everything i do as i do them
They run from my PMT (I have 2 boys n i'm sure they always will)as I'll run from my Daughters
They let me sleep in as i let them
Kids r kids, let them be. Don't teach them 2 walk n talk if ur gonna spend the rest of ur life telling them 2 sit down n shut up | |

I did not mean to offend anyone by my example of autistic (and I also was refering to the extreme end of the autistic spectrum, the children who are also severely mentally retarded)
I HAVE done a university paper on autistic children (on which I recieved a high distinction), I HAVE worked with autistic children. One of my closest friends has an autistic child who demonstrates those traits you talk about - he laughs, delights in the world, he's an amazing little kid! BUT.. he is on the higher end of the autism spectrum, he's not also severely mentally retarded as some 75% of autistic children are.
You took what I said out of context.
I DO know love, I have a son, and I love him more than I can explain to you. You saying that I don't know love TRULY offended me, and also you saying that I am young for my years by misreading one of my posts (which, as I mentioned before, you took out of context)
I suggest you read things over a couple of times and actually pick up the meaning before you go telling people they don't love thier children or anyone else.
All I was saying is that love of children is biological... that's one way of looking at it. AS I SAID AT THE END OF MY PREVIOUS POST: it does not take away the magic you feel for your children. It doesn't make you NOT love them.
I can't even put into words how furious I am. How DARE you tell me I don't love my child. | |

I think another thing we need to remember is that we cannot tell anyone what thier definition of love is, or should be. That post disgusted me too. | |

Posted: 6/2/2006 5:04:54 AM | to answer that question there is only really 1 answer......
b/c shes mine.
plain and simple.
yes...
- shes an extension of me
- she brightens my life
- she is great with other ppl and kids
- she doesnt makea fool of me in public
both those reasons dont really matter for true love. | |

Posted: 6/2/2006 12:16:52 PM | I've never been asked why I love my children..I just do..it's a given..it's like breathing..it comes natural to me..it's a feeling that just IS..and always will be. I am proud of them..I learn from them..they enhance my life..they are truly amazing creatures..unique, bright, caring..funny..loving..talented..but that is not WHY I love them..or is it?..'cuz even when they're not so funny, bright and caring..I STILL love them...all of their characteristics and traits help me love them more and more..but I loved them before they even developed these characateristics...so there you go...LOVE just IS...don't question it.
OK..I'm done babbling now..
I love my kids. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 2:42:07 AM | I loved my children from the second they were born. Unconditional. There is no need for a qualifier. It just is. My youngest daughters first words were, "Dada lubs meeeee". At 17 and 22 I still tell them every chance I get. And they KNOW that it is true.   | |

| More then anything you have ever know
Posted: 6/12/2006 1:35:11 PM | Recently a friend was talking to me about the upcoming birth of his and his wife's first child.
I told him no matter how much he loves his wife. He will not believe the love he has for his child.
Thats how much i love my son. I had no idea that it was possible to love that much.
How do you explain why? | |
