Kids are hilarious....

[snappy]

I know, you see how some poor little kids are treated and wonder if they get any affection at all. 

Hmmm, I have to say i really dislike comments like this.  I've been unfortunate enough to see some children living in tough situations and I've got to say, even when it may appear to you like the parents aren't doing enough for the kids, it is often the case that the parents are doing the very best they can - it is just different to the best you can do.

We all face our own challenges in life and looking down on parents who are struggling doesnt help anyone - least of all the kids.

Perhaps they are doing the best they can do, but not neccessarily whats best for their child. There are a lot of children in this world who have been born to unfortunate circumstances yet know they are loved, and a lot of parents who are affluent yet do not know how to love their children, and there are a lot of children in this world who are not or feel as though they are not loved enough. Don't worry snappy the comments haven't been judgemental, just sympathetic.

I agree with CP. And thats why there are so many departments out there devoted to helping struggling families. Child protection agencies, mental health services, family support and counselling services, charities.... there is a lot of help out there for children and parents to nuture their relationships so that the kids can feel safe and loved

Sorry snappy if that was taken as a judgemental comment, as CP said, it was written in a sympathetic way (well meant to be) not a judgemental way.

How very cute astarra, I love 3 year olds, they are so funny I am going to miss DD next year when she's at kindy:'(

Totally agree - I don't want my baby to grow up, and am half-dreading the call from kindy for her to start!  (I've already put them off once too...)
My just-turned-3 has just change so much recently in a good/funny way.  Just letting her lovely humour show through a lot more, even around other people. 
And DS(5yrs) is just super sweet (when he's not busy being a little terror, of course) - and lately he tells us he loves us and wants us to "live until the very last number". 

And Astarra, that is the CUTEST!!  They can be so heart-melting (and they know it, I'm sure  )
