ORIGINAL: SorceressJ I admit that so does this: my son, J., informed me about an hour ago that his gf is likely in the early stages of labor. My first grandchild is imminent. Like, omg. I admit that THIS made me squeeeee for you, SJ!!! (keep us posted!) I admit that I have had a long road to travel with the Things, especially Thing 1, with his emotional disorder, etc., but he has been transformed into a wonderful young man, of whom I am very proud. *warm fuzzies* We still have our moments, but most of the time, it's just good stuff. Thing 2... well that child is destined for total world domination one day. I adore her because she is honest, funny, loving, and erupts like a volcano if she feels that an injustice has been perpetrated. (I have no idea where she gets that stuff, I really don't) I admit that Motherhood didn't come with a manual, so we all do what we can as we can. I admit that there are things I have said and done that I wish with all my heart I could take back, but I can't, so I have apologized for them, and always tell them that I am trying to be the best mom I can be... and that mistakes will happen because I'm human. I admit that I think they respect the fact that I'm just "real" with them when I mess up, and that I love them more than air, and that I will not back down when they are doing the wrong thing, because that's my job as a mom. I admit that I told a friend of mine whose kids are a lot younger that fear and respect will get my kids to the same place right now, so I don't care which is working at the moment, as long as they are good kids. I admit that I love my fellow mama bears on here. The toughest job you'll ever love.
