I'm not a mom, but gosh you people are all so wonderful, and I hope each of your children know how fortunate they are to have parents that cherish them.

(((( pixie moms & dads ))))

Congratulations Cheyanne,

You have brought up a very qute little girl to be a beautiful young lady.. Look at it this way.. We all grow up sometime.

All of you parents with children in or near their teen years, please get your questions ready for you will find out that they will know it all. LOL

My Babe girl is 27 and through college(twice). Now if she could just find the time to come home once in awhile. She was in Calf. last week learning to operate some new fangled machine for work. She is a lab tech in a hospital.

I do have to say the grandkids are great, you get to spoil them and then send them home to mom and dad. hehehehehe

My boy is 5 yrs old and seems he knows all the answers already.

((((((((Parents))))))))

My baby girl will be 13 in January. She now has this major attitude, thinks she controls the radio in the car, wears my make-up and lives on the phone. :rolleyes:

She started her period this summer and has not been a very happy camper. Her cycle hasn't regulated and is starting about every 20 days. The last time she just broke down and cried saying she didn't want to be a woman. It's hard to tell your baby that she is going to be one for a very long time to come.

(((((((((Everyone))))))))))

Here I was feeling low and somewhat depressed and look at all of you who came to my rescue! Again, not that I needed the proof, but here it is, Pixies peeps are the best! What an amazing group of people.

I got to thinking after I started the thread - what was I thinking??? This is a SEX forum!!! But after reading the responses, I am glad I did. Sexuality is the topic, but this place is sooooooo much more than that!!! This place is real.

Thank you all for being there for me and helping me over my little bump in the road.....

I talked to very fine members of this place when I was deep depressed, none of the talk was sexual, and all gave me power to go on...

Oh boy, I know all about babies growing up in the blink of an eye. My oldest baby is 26. It was a rough ride for us, but we dearly love and respect each other now. She calls me Mama... I love that. She knows my dearest secret.

My baby boy with the fuzzy blonde hair, who I defended with clenched teeth when some kid looked at his baby hair and said "hey look mom, that baby looks like an onion" (what nerve) is now a man of 25 and one of my most cherished confidantes.

The next baby is 22 and was a beautiful bride this past summer, her older brother performed the ceremony. Wasn't she at my breast just months ago? It sure seems like it.

My 18 year old baby is a senior in high school with a list of accomplishments under her belt. She told me not too long ago that she doesn't want to grow up and leave... I couldn't agree with her more. She was her older sister's maid of honor. I used to rock her to sleep every night after nursing her. I'd rub her ear and whisper "good girl". Her first words were "good girl".

OMG, my heart is so full.

Youngest baby girl is 13 and in 8th grade, mouthy one minute, hugging me the next. Wearing too much mascara, then wanting to go outside to play with the girl down the block... not quite a little girl, but far from grown. How can I keep her here, or at least slow down the speed of her growing up?

My baby boy is 10, will be 11 in February. He has the sweetest, most loving soul. He was very premature (14 weeks early and weighed 1lb 5oz at birth). He's got some learning issues, but he's so talented, so witty, so willing to forgive anything... he has such a tender spirit. My youngest and last... a baby last time I blinked. He was the best man for his new brother-in-law.


Where does the time go?

Life is short. This I'm learning more painfully each day. But I'm also trying to embrace the wonderful things and people in my life and appreciate each stage and each adventure. Trying hard.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! *puts fingers in her ears and makes babbly noises* My little girl is 3. I don't wanna think about her growing up! *cries and runs away*

All our girls are married and gone; but when we see them, giving them a hug is still something most special. They've all become very beautiful yound ladies with wonderful families of their own. I'm so proud of them.

I know what you mean, Cheyanne, about sometimes just wanting to cry. I know us guys aren't suppose to, but sometimes I think about our family growing up and it does cause strong emotions inside.

(((( HUGS )))) to ya', and pass the Kleenex when you're done. :)

My girl will be 8 in March. I'm going to miss all the hugs that are given now and the out of the blue "I love you's". Hugs are ok, but try and give her a kiss in public (rolling eyes)......sometimes I already think she should be a teen with how much she worrys about what she's wearing and to think she just lost the training wheels this summer.
They change from day to day so fast, can't take enough pics to capture it all.

((((((((Chey)))))))

*hugs* to all the mommies and daddy's

Oh (((((Chey)))))!

I'm not a mom...but my heart still aches for you...and all the Pixies who have shared the same feelings as yours!

I'll NEVER forget the day I got my period for the first time. I was elated, in a sense, to know what some had told me was the first day of the "best" of my life. I was sad, in a sense, to not be able to turn back the clock and just be a little girl for a moment longer. I was scared because I had no idea of all that would be expected from me from month to month. I was proud to finally be able to call myself a woman...even though, in my head, I had felt so mature eons before the chemical change. And...I cried and sat on my mother's lap cause I didn't really feel very good that day and I had hoped it was because my body needed to get used to the changes it had undertaken. To my chagrin...the shitty feeling of that day hasn't lessened from month to month...but gotten more unbearable as the years go by. Please don't mention that part to your daughter now...cause she may be one of the lucky ones who escape the wrath of Mother Nature!

I think what I am trying to say is...

Even though my mom has been gone for 22 years, I still think of her, and still call her (when with my sisters) Mommy. I'll always be her "most down to earth" daughter...and she'll ALWAYS be...in my heart and soul...My Mommy!

Don't fret sweety! Yes...they grow up. But, as they grow, so do the wonderful memories...for you and for them!

OMG!!! Lixy... (((((HUGS)))))

As I read your post I realized that I was being woefully selfish! I was thinking with only my perspective and not my little girl's! I remember when I first started, the feelings I had, the symptoms that went along with it, and that I was almost afraid of growing up! Thank you!!! If I am feeling the way I am, I can only imagine what she is feeling by what I went through.

She is on her fourth day...I am afraid that she is going to be like I was, and that really sucks! I think we are going to have a mommy/daughter day this weekend...to take this opportunity to be closer even more...

((((((((((LIXY))))))))))))

Hi Chey

I miss my little girl, the one with the blond curls and disarming smile. But sometimes when a beautiful teenager hugs me and grins I find her again and realise she's not gone just grown up.

"woefully selfish" is "motherly" in SpainiFrenchyGermanianRussianansky...and so on and so on...

NEVER doubt your concerns...and ALWAYS trust that whatever you feel , you are not alone! Mother is the most defining word on the planet...cause it soooooo lives up to it's meaning (you decide the meaning...that's the best part!).

I hope you have the most wonderful mother/daughter day there ever was!!! I remember those days with my mom...and all I can do is smile!
