Love, whether you are a child or an adult, is the most magical experience that one can ever hope to have.
When one has a child, parents show the most amazing ability to offer unconditional love to their baby, perhaps this is the most pure love of all, bestowed upon your child no matter what happens along your child's path to adulthood. The child learns what love really is from the parents, learns how to give love to others as well as receiving love in a healthy responsible environment.
Think back to when you had your children and picture how happy they were to see you when they awoke from a sleep, how they loved to play with you, to be tickled, kissed and cuddled. Your children also felt so protected at that stage, no one could touch them as they knew that they were with you. They knew that you were there to offer them kind words of love when they were hurt and needed to feel your warmth and attention.
From the patents point of view it was also an amazing feeling to have this little person so dependant on you. The feeling of love and protection for that child was always first and foremost in your thoughts. All the emotions that are related to this little being, whether it is worry, anxiety, sorrow and pain are love orientated. Unconditional love that knows no boundaries. Children learn from what they see and hear, experienced most times at home, surely if one grows up with love and understanding then there will be no hostility towards others.
At the end of the day a child still needs discipline and in times if trouble , no matter what kind if trouble, the parent is always around to point out the errors and yet still offer love and words of encouragement in times of need. If a child still feels that love, the problem will be far easier to get through than if the parent left the child to handle the problem alone.

It's wonderful when you are old enough to watch your son with his own children. To see the love he has for them and the wisdom he teaches them.

I agree totally but when they reach a certain stage to challenge all that they know it can test that unconditional love from both sides. ππ
@eddie12309 Surely, or surely not......? My jury's out on this at the moment unfortunately. But an interesting post nonetheless....
I'd like to think I'd have the same unconditional love for my daughter and future kids that my parents had for me and my siblings and with three older brothers and me being a rebel they were definitely tested...@eddie12309 @MrsS maybe it's the strength of the bond that determines it?
@sjw @eddie12309 Ach, just ignore me... I'm down in the dumps (just spent another evening being screamed at, punched (!) and told I am the worst mummy in the world) π We're actually trying to seek help for our eldest at the moment, but getting virtually nowhere fast π I suppose I just feel like we try our best to give love, support and care, but he's always been so very ....angry and defiant ππ They're hinting at the possibility of some form of Hyperactivity and 'ODD', but even if we ever get anything conclusive, quite what we can do about it is beyond me right now... (I hate the thought of medication, so I guess we'll just have to soldier on and try everything else?!) I used to wonder whether these types of disorders actually really existed, but I'm finding it truly hard to imagine that now. Sorry, probably shouldn't burden you, but now you know (it's not something I feel I can write a poem about! π) - May delete this post shortly...... ππ
@MrsS don't apologise. I totally understand my son can be very challenging and used to think he may have an ism but for me I just think its a phase if him challenging boundaries. But seek help. Your school should be a starting point. They will have a SENCO who specialises in this area. Your not a bad mum your a living mum who is showing your child right and wrong and sometimes we end up being the worst in the world as they don't have the emotional capacity to deal with it yet. You are not the only mummy out there to feel this way so don't get down over it.
@MrsS please feel free to kik me if you need any help as I work in a primary school and may be able to point you in the right direction. πππ
@eddie12309 Thank you. I don't have Kik unfortunately, but it's very kind of you to offer help. There are many problems we face (not least that we are currently busting a gut to put him through private school at the mo - long story, bad ordeal with LEA / school choices process and we felt we had no other choice, given his behaviour...) - but the irony of that is (so we've been told, off the record), we won't get the same help, so basically, we end up having to pay private for everything - and the cherry on top is that if we did, the NHS wouldn't recognise any private findings anyway... Rocks, hard places........ Needless to say ivebeen pretty depressed on and off for sometime now - feeling like I'm failing him, get more depressed, vicious circle. I don't know what the answer is ππ Thank you for your kind words though π
@MrsS mmmmm not good. Re the help- its dependent in the school. But I'll make a few enquiries for you as we had a statemented pupil who went off to private school but was receiving help there. Leave it with me chuck. π
@eddie12309 So sweet of you, thanks you. It's kind of consuming me again lately and poor hubby's feeling the strain of my depressive state... Not good ππ Ps, just looked up this Kik thing everyone's been going on about for ages (I'm a complete technophobe), and it's free, so I got it, just trying to set up now.... π²π
@MrS I'm showing a comment from you but there's nothing hereπ³ btw love your pic the hair colour is lovely π
@sjw No worries, I deleted a couple of posts... It's all a bit ππ£ππ Don't worry yourself though, I'll sort it out somehow... π Eddie has been very kind as to offer a little info if she can... πππ
