Last week, Brittany (7) wanted to spend every minute of her day with me, in special Mother-Daughter time, but this week she is visiting her cousins and when I called to tell her goodnight, she scarcely had the time for a phone conversation. She said she's not really missing me much and could I please not come to get her tomorrow.
Brenden (9) will sometimes go to bed without remembering to give me a hug. Stone (5) gives me 5 hugs and 5 kisses every night. He will not sleep without them. I remember when Brenden had to have those hugs and kisses, too.
Who told these children that they could stop needing me so much?!
About Me
- Lori Seaborg
- I am not the girl who is ahead of you in homemaking and motherhood knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, doing the 5th laundry load, tripping on scattered toys, creating a knitted scarf, collecting eggs, reading Scriptures, and chatting over tea, all pretty much at the same time, and all while admiring my husband, refereeing the older kids and chasing the toddler. Let’s learn together! See me at http://loriseaborg.com

Missing you on the group- keep checking just to see if u did peek in:-), coming face to face with motherhood is one of those realities that we all get to or have gone through but be assured they really do miss us:-) hope to hear from you soon
My son L (9) very rarely gives me hugs and kisses or tells me he loves me. The other night I told him I loved him (like I do every night) and I said, "Do you love me?" He said, "Duh, Mom, but don't make a big deal about it." I made a huge deal about it!!!!! We are making progress!!!!!!
I have a Brenden too! I don't hear the name often!:-)
