Truthfully, I believe most moms feel the same way. Even when I taught school and truly loved my kids there, it was never in the same way as I loved and related to my own. Not even close. And from years of watching field trip moms I can tell you they are there for their own kids and will give cursory care to the others. It is just the way it is.In My Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314569946759382887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701398832410746913.post-74732273678330756082014-07-10T16:08:45.855-07:002014-07-10T16:08:45.855-07:00Thanks, mom.

While I love all of my children and grandchildren very much, other people's children do not elicit the same from me. If there's an injury or something I am able to handle those because I go into nurse mode. Trying to entertain other people's children has always been more of a bother to me than a pleasure. Thank goodness you and your sisters were able to entertain your friends and did not depend on me to entertain your friends. I loved playing with my own children but did not feel the need to play with other people's children. When I spend time with Hollie Russ I am entertained by her absolutely amazing imagination and I love playing with her. All of this has lead me to the conclusion that your Nana was right when she said, "Looking at pictures of other people's children and grandchildren is extremely boring so don't show me yours and I will refrain from showing you mine."Samantha Apgarnoreply@blogger.com
