There are just so many. I love my kids. I know I complain about them and I complain to them, and I yell and I punish but at the end of the day I love my babies. I wouldn’t take back having them for anything in this world. They are my world. They make me laugh like no one can, piss me off that I want to send them off to a boarding school and make me cry till I’m all puffy and gross looking. But I love them and they are mine and I would do anything for them.
With that said there are so many things I want them to learn. Don’t steal, don’t cheat (life or your wife/girlfriend), don’t lie, don’t hit a woman unless she hits first then all rules out the door. I know some disagree with this but my thinking is why should a woman have a right to hit her man and not the other way around. Forget about men being stronger than woman, fair is fair. Use your tongue rather than your fists unless they hit first than beat the shit out of them…honestly I’m not a violent person despite what my last two sentences say I just want my kids to be able to stand up for themselves. Do good in school and no matter what get a college degree. It really does make a difference in life. Be good to your wife. Be a good father. Don’t just make kids, play with them, read them stories and be there for them when they need you. I would love for my kids to hold all these values and so many more close to their hears and minds but the most important one is be
HAPPY
That’s it….just be HAPPY.
I want them to know that life is hard. There will be some great joys and disappointments waiting for them. That they will shed so many more tears but at the same time they will laugh so hard they will pee in their pants. People will hurt them but that's all part of life and thru all of this I just want them to be
HAPPY
I want them to be happy about the choices they make & happy about the people that they’ve chosen to keep in their lives.
I want them to be able to see the "light at the end of the tunnel". To know that even thought today looks bad maybe tomorrow won't be and even if it is one day things will get better. There is nothing that scares the shit out of me more than the thought of my babies hurting themselves (suicide, cutting and other things). I can't imagine not having them around because they thought life was too hard for them/on them and they just couldn't go on. So I just want them to know that life will get better, there are so many wonderful things in this world to make them happy so please don't give up.
Life is too short not to enjoy it even when times are bad. Everyday is a gift so enjoy it and find something to make you happy today.

I would say that to be HAPPY is THE most important thing in life, of course, and to pass that lesson on to our kids is golden. It's wonderful that more and more parents are getting that their children's happiness is more important than achieving or living out the dreams and expectations they'd set out for them.
ReplyDeleteIt really is important. I think everything else will somehow fall in place but so many kids I'm seeing nowadays are sad and depressed and those things lead to other bad stuff and I just couldn’t handle bad my babies doing bad things to themselves or others. Happiness is contagious and maybe if they're happy others will be happy around them.
DeleteI wish you were everyone's mom. The world would be better if we all made a concerted effort to be happy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. With my happiness and your funnies we could rule the world and everyone would laugh all day and be happy.
DeleteHappiness really is the key. You nailed it right on the head!
ReplyDeletePromise me you won't teach them how to get their wife to hold onto the bathroom sink properly?
WHY DID THAT MAKE ME LAUGH SO MUCH?!?!?!?!
xo
LOL, I promise I won't althought I can't promise the hubs won't try to squeeze that piece of wizdom past me.
ReplyDeleteHappiness and laughter. These things make the world a better place. If we can teach our children being happy is more important than material items, social standings, or anything else, than we are making the world a better place to be in.
ReplyDeleteMommy, you're doing it right!
Thank you, I hope they do realize that happiness is very important in life and everything else will somehow fall in place
DeleteOMG...I just laughed out loud, and I am home alone. So you just made ME HAPPY! Someone once said to me "You are always happy, and you make me feel safe, like you know a secret about the world." Best compliment ever. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY....and if you can't find a shiny side to life, then damnit...polish the dull one :-) Great post!!
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you! Its good to know that others enjoy what I write. Happiness is really important to me. I try to find something to be happy about everyday even when its a really bad one. My kids usually do it even when they're being bad.
DeleteI agree with the hitting thing. I'm also not violent but dammit if some woman my baby ends up with beats him he better fight back. also some woman are bigger/stronger than some men.
ReplyDeletelastly, yes happy!
I'm totally against violence but I carried my babies, raised them and hopefully they will grow up to be good adults and for some woman to think she can hit them just because she's a woman...hell no! I'm not having it and I hope they won't either. I'm not talking about beating the shit out of her but woman are always about equality so equality it is.
DeleteAw. That's so sweet. I want my kids to be happy too...unless they disobey, then I want them to be very, very sad. This theme thursday thing is fun. Thanks for stopping by and I'm looking forward to reading more words that you have written.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm totally loving this Theme Thursday and absolutely love reading what other have to same on the same subject.
