This is such a true thought.
If I go shopping, alone, my eye alights onto the things the children would love… I end up with bags of things for them, not me!
Going out for dinner, on date night… Inevitably, the talk turns to our children, and missing their annoying noise, to the point hubby dearest is ready to go get them from their grandparents!
Any time we are alone, and they aren’t there, basically, our thoughts are on those children. After all, we had them, we wanted them, it stands to reason that they are on our minds 24/7.
One thing I don’t agree with are those manuals that say that your kids shouldn’t take over your life, they are merely a kart of it. Yes, they are a part of it but you know, they didn’t chose to be born, we made that choice. Surely that means they should be the most important part of our thoughts. After all family is the biggest thing, to me anyway.
These are just my thoughts. I know there are many different family situations out there, but where kids are involved, maybe the children should be at the forefront of our minds…
Have a thoughtful Tuesday Peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...
