My little girl will be starting school this year. The one thing I will miss the most is the time we have in the morning. When I wake her up we will lay in the bed and talk about what we are going to do that day. Sometimes she will look at me and say "I love You Mommy," and then she will give me a big hug. Those words are the sweetest words I think any child can tell their parents. I just hug her back and smile. When she starts to school that will be something of the past. Gone will be the days we just lay down and talk about nothing and everything. We might do it on the weekends but I know that it will not be that often, and soon is will be a distant memory. I like the sound of her before she goes to bed when she is talking to her Daddy and telling him all about what she has done all the day. Having a child is a blessing, and my heart goes out to the people that don't have children of their own. My brother is planning to get married this September and his bride to be wants 5 children. To me that is a bit much how about one at the time before you start talking more. What if there is a medical problem and they can't have any let alone 5. He thinks that he has it all figured out. What he does not understand yet it that children are different and so are parenting styles. The way he wants to raise a child may not be necessarily the way she wants to raise a child, there will be clashes. And what if they have a child that is a special needs child. I am sure that this is something they have not even thought about. His bride to be is so sure of what she wants and she is not considering what he wants (as far as children, maybe other things I don't know). I just hope that the marriage is not over before it begins. According to the bible the man is suppose to me the head of the house and I fear that she thinks it is her place to impose her will and desires on him. If she is indeed this way I fear that the marriage will not last. Marriage is a partnership not a dictatorship you have to compromise with your spouse and always think about what they want. You are suppose to put them ahead of yourself. I just hope that this is what she does once they get married. And that she does not railroad him once they are married.
