Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Sometimes I love my kid so much it hurts my heart. Does anyone else find the love for a child terrifying?
29 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreYes, in fact I was thinking that this might be the key difference (not better vs worse) between SAHM vs WOHM. When you work in the grown-up world you actually get a break from the intense child-centric myopic focus. Not a helicopter parent, but intensely sensitive to their feelings and experiencing things as they happen everyday.
[ Reply | More ]I don't know. I am a SAHM and whenever my DC falls down or hurts himself, I feel bad for him but it's not the end of the world. I don't verbalize it, but I think, "Come on kid, buck up, it couldn't have hurt that bad." Maybe it's b/c I see him fall down 100x a day and I take him for granted - to an extent? Gosh, I sound like a monster compared to these other moms.
[ Reply | More ]I was WOHM with my first and more intensely sensitive to every little aspect of his emotions than I am now as a SAHM with my second two children. However, I totally understand the love my kid so much it hurts feeling. I am over the top with it. But I think I am a little numbed to some details because I am so overwhelmed with kid duties every day whereas when I was WOHM I ate up every moment that I had with my baby.

Yes ! Sometimes when I'm away from her and I blink I see her smiling face. She's our first and the intensity I feel about her can actually take my breath away. I sometimes wonder if it's so intense because it took us so long and she's under a year. Does it fade with time ?
[ Reply | More ]I know exactly what you mean. I SAH everyday with my wonderful dd and love her so much it does hurt. It's the only time you can feel like your heart is walking around outside of your body. It is amazing, terrifying, and exhausting.

"I love her so much it hurts my heart" is something I say all the time, and mean very much.
[ Reply | More ]My therapist told me that once you have a kid, you will never experience a day or night completely free of fear, and I think that's true. Not to be paranoid, but the only test I really don't want to face is god forbid something happening to my kid. If it weren't for the other ones, I don't know if I could go on...
