That's the thing that makes you a great mum that non-stop support and love that you give all your kids. Your son is going to be a father and you are there for him. You may not approve but he is owning up to the mistake and you have to respect that. He knows that he can count on you and that is what makes a great mom. My mom has never been the one that I could count on and I wish at times that I could. Your kids have my envy. Just cuz you get frustrated and yell at them doesn't mean that you love them less.

aaawwww Tink you is making me blush

I give praise where it's deserved and right now you are in some serious need of it. The only reason that my mom even calls me is cuz I'm pregnant and I know it. She doesn't call for me she calls to for the baby and that sucks. I have a feeling that you would call your kids just to say that you love them in case they forgot. You may not see yourself as a great mum but your kids and everyone else on this site does. Mum is a title that is earned not by having the baby but by being there and doing what you can to make sure that your child is safe, fed, and loved. I just want to do what I can to make sure that I'm the kind of mum that will be all those things.

Well yeah I do call my kids alot to let them know I love them, my 11 year old lives with his father cos he sends him to a private school and my hubby and I can't afford that and up until a couple of weeks ago I couldn't call long distance from my fone but switched carriers and in that time I swear I have called him every couple of days even if it's to let him know what I have bought him off ebay has been posted, then when it arrives and for no apparent reasons..... I am not looking forward to the day my kids are grown and move outta the house.... I won't know what to do with myself and I wll more than likely be begging to have the grandkids stay over every other day so I am busy with kiddies... That is all I know how to do is be a mum and take care of kids..... I've been a barmaid, telemarketer and I have worked in retail aswell and there is no harder nor rewarding job than being a mum and when they don't need you anymore it sux so you think of all the excuses in the world as to why they still need you and make sure they don't forget....
The 15 year old who is going to be a dad lives with friends at the moment and I still ring him all the time and remind him that I am mum and I love him and he better not forget it, he still comes round all the time to see his brothers and sister which is good and makes me give him haircuts all the time which I love ( he still needs his mummy) no matter how grown up he thinks he is he will always be my little boy He has also come with me to my ultrasounds and shows off the pics of Willow to all his friends he is pretty excited about having a new sister... I wish he's come back home to live but if this is what he wants then I can't stop him I can only support him otherwise I risk losing him and I am not prepared to lose any of my kids...

I have to stay with my mom for a while and the only reason that I'm going is to make sure that I get full custody of my son. If I didn't have to go I would stay right where I am. I miss my family but not enough to want to be with them all the damn time. Maybe if I had a family more like yours I wouldn't be dreading this so much. Thank god for my stepdad tho he is the best and he keeps my mom in line as much as he can so she stays off my ass. And I get to see my dog he's a huge gator head brindle pit bull that can't bark. He was in a fire that almost killed him and his throat got damaged. He can breathe but not bark tho it's funny as hell to see him try.

Angel, I would have to say, I wish you were my momma! My momma and I did not get along at all when I was growing up. Now things are alittle better between us, and she and I live together with my son. When I first told I was pregnant with my son, she said "I thought I taught you girls better then that." But things have gotten better, she stays home and watches my son while go to work. But my dad was the supportive one when I was younger and fell pregnant at 17. I ended up having a miscarriage, but he was there for me. He even went to my prenatal appointments with me. That was weird! Lol! Just keep up the good work, and take care of all your babies and future grandbaby, the best way you can. Be there to support your son in his decisions, that's the best way to show you truly love him sometimes.
