The other night, I was laying in bed with N and C watching TV. I don’t even know what we were watching. Just a little cuddle time for mommy.
N wrapped his arms around me and said, “I am glad I came form your belly and that you are my mom.”
I told him I was glad too.
He then said, “Even though you don’t let me do everything I want, I still love you”.
And I replied, “Even though you don’t always do what I want and listen to me, I still love you too.”
He said, “Yeah, I know.” And kissed me on the cheek. A real wet sloppy kiss on the cheek. I loved it.

I don’t have a very big support group around here when it comes to parenting. Most of my friends don’t have children or they have just started having them, so they are still in “baby mode”. So, most of the support I get has come from staying involved in La Lech League. But, even there I find I don’t have a lot in common with some of these other moms. Maybe it’s becasue I used to work outside the home and none of them would ever!
And then yesterday I came across Emelle’s mothering post. It made me cry. And it also made me realize there are quite a few parents here on 43things that do parent similar to me and are very supportive. The flood of supportive posts she got from everyone was incredibly touching.
I have realized I have a whole new support group at my fingertips that I didn’t have a year ago!
