For me, my children are the center of my world. Everything that I do is based on what they need and what they want. The love, hugs, and kisses that I get from them make it more than worth it for me. Being a parent means that I give and receive unconditional love. It means that no matter what happens in the world, my children know that they are safe when they are with me. What does it mean to you to be a parent?

I could not imagine my life without my little girl. I knew love before I had her but not love like this. She is my life. Everything we do revovles around her and making sure she is safe. We work to keep a nice roof over head, clothes on her back, food in the fridge, and toys in her playroom. We show her everything and want to teach her everything. We are happy when she is happy and sad when she is sad and feel her pain when she is sick or hurt. Being a parent means that I am now complete as a person.

I agree, since becoming a parent I've felt more complete as a person too.

Being a parent means the world to me. Weird a kiss and or a hug or both just makes everything better. Knowing that I have two kids that I have to make sure are safe. After having kids, my life is one new adventure every day.

Can I be lazy and copy and paste what you said? haha. I feel like I am a guide for my son, to teach him the world and love.

I agree with you! You are here to guide your child and teach him/her about the world.

Everything my children do I love. I know that no matter how much I get angry or upset with them I know they will still love me no matter what. My life is my childrens. I hardley ever think about myself, it's my children first. The hugs, kisses, loves, attention, resepct, apperciation is all for them and from them
