I've learned that:

my parents had it easy when I was listening to Led Zepplin and Aerosmith; my kids are out to prove it (Yikes! What's with some of that music?)

Even as a teen they will always want a hug (just not in front of their peers)

There is a size "Zero" blue jean

Even after a divorce PMS survives

That no matter what you do or say, they will do what they want....

Tell them not to have sex...they lie and do it
Tell them not to smoke.......they lie and do it
Teach them respect for others........Pfft...out the window
Teach them that it's only a tv show and not morally correct....pfft

That sometimes all you need to fix a hurt is a hug and a kiss, no matter how old you are.
That kids remember more than you think.
That kids will always want mommy and daddy to get back together, no matter what.
That nobody can be everything.
That no matter how "starving to death" a kid is, as soon as they get food they're not hungry.
That I AM OLD.
It's therapuetic to be silly sometimes.
Kids will always say what YOU are thinking and wonder why you get upset.
Even when a little girl has the prettiest hair in the world, she really does want the exact opposite.
To be quick with the camera to avoid the poses.

that this world is far more interesting than it really seems. what love really means as well as friendship and compassion.

Kid, "obviously not enuff, I gotta go back tomorrow."

you guys are posting all the positive stuff....
recently my heart was broken, when my son took his fishing knife to school to show his friends..
as you guys may know that's a serious offence nowadays and i had to fight to keep him in the school,attend parenting classes,and he had to have a session with a councelor..just to stay in the school..
My son's an asume kid 9 years old good grades and all,but before he left for school that morning he knew he had the knife and knew it was wrong... i felt so betrayed by him..im an innocent new single parent ..
i guess what i'm saying is ..i most assuredly learned that day that i'm not his friend ,but his parent...it's tough on me i loved the innocense..but it's gone!!!!!1

i guess the two biggest things i learned from my son is...1 to be mature. raising a child is hard job that not everyone is qualified for. it takes a mature person the say, today is the day i stop existing just for myself. i have my child to think of first. 2 to be patient. my son is a lil ball of energy. somedays just watching him run around and play drives me insane. but he taught me that i have to stop, evaluate the situation. if it's not serious then don't stress about it. take my time and understand my son's needs. at 25 i've finally learned that children are a gift...a blessing. enjoy them while they're still young

I have learned that questions that should be made in the privacy of your own home, or at least somewhere private, are best asked at the top of your speaking voice at the most crowded location possible "Mommy, my friend said adults get naked before they hug, why?"

I have also learned that seven year old boys are embarassed by getting a hug in front of anyone on earth because their friends may hear about it... unless of course they really really really need that new toy or whatever, then it's a good bribe to soften up Mom.

One of the best things I learned from my children was that the love they show is honestly "unconditional Love".

And by the way Happy Mothers Day to all....even the single dads trying to be both mom and dad....I celebrate Fathers Day as well as mothers day

I am single mother of three boys that are 10 12 13 and they have tought me that while it is not impossable to pee standing up it is better for them that way...lol
and that everyday with them is not easy but LIFE IS GOOD..
They love me no matter how I look or what embarassing things come from my mouth and they are brutally honest as well
We have childrean and give them wings so they can sour with the eagles and fly above it all but while they are growing we are there to catch them when they fall
When they learn about heartach it breakes our hearts when the learn about honar and truth pride and justice it makes them so grown but to be humble and have compassion makes them so much more...so for our family it is one for all and all for one to be our selves and to understand each other...Happy Mothers Day

I've learned, that even just half a green crayon can ruin a whole load of laundry in the dryer.

My son learned, no matter which way you hold a match it will always burn up!

I have learned Not to sweat the small stuff.

I have learned that life really is too short to be stuck in anger, grudging, and self pity mode.

I have learned to make the most of every day as they grow soooo fast.

I have learned she has quite the temper and I am dreading her teenage years.

I have learned that there really is no way to desribe how much love the heart can hold when you are a parent.

I have learned that parenting is a learning experience that you are experienceing together... what an amazing ride!!!!

I have learned that I can do anything even if I think I can't.

Keep an open mind, and dislike only those that have hurt you or loved ones
