Kids

   Kids, what else can I say about them? They are what they are. As a parent we love them so much that at times it does hurt.  The love that is for real unconditional. As soon as a person has one of these helpless, beautiful, innocent little people they are bound by this unwritten code to do good by them.  It's kinda of hard to explain......no it's real hard to explain, unless you have lived it.  Now as a parent I love my children more then i love myself most of the time.  Hmm as soon as I said that it seemed sad, but trust me it is not at all sad.  They bring more joy and smiles then any pain they can bring, and they can bring some pain.  For the first year or two it's pretty smooth and then something happens, they learn to convey wants, thoughts and feelings.  That is funny and cute at first then they learn they have control over themselves and at times others around them. Now the party starts as they began to grow and learn.  With my three loveless the party never stops, the pre-teen is at his I know EVERY thing faze, my 10 year girl I don't know (girls :), and last but not least the four year old who knows he can control situation around the house. 
  I want to do so right by my kids but when they act as if I am trying to hurt them that hurts.  lately I've been saying "oh mommy don't love me, mommy don't care for me" when my kids start huffing and puffing after I ask them to do chores or homework or hell anything. I've told them the things I am teaching, telling, show them to do are life long lessons and I am doing all of this out of love so deal.
  I as other parents only want our children to grow up to lead happy safe lives.  I hope my kids will look back on their childhood as I have and understand why?
  I love you Noah, Niya and Aza
