I believe there is a Love Languages for children!

My little girl is only 7 months and I’ve felt this way from day one. She’s never been cuddly, didn’t want anything to do with me pretty much out of the womb (including nursing and 4 months of colic!) and seemed fiercely independent immediately. I can only imagine what I am in for when the toddler years come. quite frankly, the independence is not something I dislike, I am hoping she becomes a happy little girl who self-entertains. I do wish I got the odd cuddle though – my new mom hormones would love it!

Preach it! I always say being a Mom (or Dad) is the toughest job. There are a lot of days I’m glad I’m not a stay at home Mom. Mostly because it is truly the toughest job out there. Raising little ones has daily challenges. The rewards are incredible but something few and far between. Coming from a Mom to two boys and Step Mom to two boys all with VASTLY different personalities I feel you and your confession.

My biggest struggle is patience. My boys test it daily. And I often find myself snapping them feeling horrible seconds later. But coming from my own Mother…children remember the hugs, the love, the laughter nothing else. 😊

I hear you Megan. 🙂 Laura was totally different than Erin as a toddler. She only wanted me when she woke from a nap and was still a little groggy. She would sit with me for about 3-5 minutes while I got as much hugging in as I could and then she was gone. This is the tiny downside to having a fiercely independent child, which we are thrilled to have in every other way. The good news is that she showed me in so many other ways that she really did love me! I have cards and pictures she drew saying I love you mommy, along with trivets, and plant stands made at Pioneer clubs, and high school, which I still treasure! And eventually you may have grandchildren that will give you all the love and affection, hugs, and cuddles your sensitive heart craves. Don’t worry, it happens much faster than you think! lol

My confessions this week aren’t baby related specifically, but…sorta baby brain I guess. I washed a dirty diaper (not sure if it was poop or just pee, but defia used diaper) in the wash the other day. SO LUCKY it didn’t fall apart. Must be a good brand. Oh and today I washed a load of dishes in the dishwasher, and didn’t put a tab in with it…so the dishes are still dirty. Lol.

I relate to this 100000000%. I swear from the moment Silas was born his vibe was just like “I don’t need you” lol. But at the same time can be so so so tender and sweet. I will say that like 2.5-3.5 I saw a lot more attachment and affection. But now it seems like he’s moving back towards super independent 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I so relate. I totally thought that motherhood would mean having this tender and timid little being that thrived with my affection. Not so much.
