Cuddling with my sweet girl is one of my favorite things to do. From my experience, I can say that Having a boy is different from having a girl in some ways. With girls, you get to dress them up, style them, do “girly” stuff/play together. They are usually mellow than the boys. It is true for me so I am more “relaxed” with her. They are such darlings and very sweet especially to their daddies. Mine is definitely a daddy’s girl!
With my son, I usually need to keep up with his energy, with his inquisitive mind, with his talking and moving around. He seems more dependent than his little sister. Calls my attention all the time. I guess he is a mommy’s boy. Although now that he is turning 7, I notice that we argue a lot. He is really challenging my patience. He is strong willed and … He is just growing fast. And yes, before I realize it, my baby girl will be too.
I notice I am starting to have strands of white hair. Found two strands recently! Being a parent can be so hard! I am not complaining, but just expressing. It is really exhausting but rewarding too (mixed emotions – driving me crazy). It is a big responsibility raising children. We are responsible for their well being, to provide them with their needs not just material but emotional, intellectual, spiritual and others. It is truly a mission to raise human beings who can thrive in this difficult and yet wonderful life, who will be happy, successful, and kindhearted people. May God bless and help each parent on earth!
I have a long way to go. For now, while they are little, I will have to enjoy the moments cuddling with them! Heaven is here 💕

Lovely post. You are so right. That’s why we have children when we are young. There’s no energy left after they are grown.

Oh yes! There are advantages too to have them when we are younger. Now it can be physically challenging so we need to stay fit! : )

Moms and sons have a unique relationship, as you have so accurately depicted. But, there is no greater bond of love.
I was 12 years old recovering from corrective surgery in a New York hospital as a result of Polio. One night I awoke from sleep by the sound of my own voice calling for my mother. The next day my mom, who traveled by train from Connecticut to visit me, said she woke up in the middle of the night because she swore she heard me calling for her.
Only a special bond of love will not be detered by time or space.

There are times when kindness is required and other times that require toughness. The approach that is correct at a particular moment, is the one that accomplishes the greater good, and not the greater convenience.

That’s right. Sometimes I am gentle, most of the time I need to be tough or else he won’t listen to me. When I try to be tough, sometimes it stresses me out. I do not like getting mad but sometimes I feel that is the only way to establish authority and discipline. I am sure I will have lots of grey hair soon!!!! : )
