They need to know we have feelings, and experience how we express them.<br />I used to be afraid of of crying in front of my kids, used to hold it back. But it's important they understand that parents, like them, are human, too. <br />Sweet post.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702840925989964102.post-85868035686231115842011-01-10T20:45:46.801-07:002011-01-10T20:45:46.801-07:00awwww....I can just hear him saying that.

I immediately wondered if there was psychological damage done to my son earlier that would prompt this but then he returned with his smurf and gave it to me....this story almost calls for its own blogKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088954144281629542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702840925989964102.post-90819981466636210452011-01-10T11:42:36.938-07:002011-01-10T11:42:36.938-07:00Brad said that Benjamin said to him "I though...Brad said that Benjamin said to him "I thought adults only swore when they were hurt!?"

They were so freaked out. I remember looking up at their faces - looking like they had just found out that the tooth fairy didn't exist. I was so surprised at their reaction but then realized that in their minds Moms don't cry when they get hurt.
