Do parents LOVE all of their children equally?
I have 2 children. My son is 6, my daughter is 11 months. I LOVE them both but have very different feelings ABOUT them. When I was pregnant with my daughter I thought, how can I ever love another person as much as I love my son? I thought this because I only had 1 child and nothing to compare it to. Then she came along and I loved her but it took me longer to bond with her because I had already had 5 years to bond and spend time with and get to know my son. Love is love is love - but your connection to them or your bond with them may not be the same. They are people with personalities and preferences and traits that are unique and naturally, as humans (which parents are still regular people who don't magically change upon having kids), we relate to or have a connection with some people and not as much with others. With children, your love is (most times) equal for both, but the relationship is different. This is normal; although I wouldn't recommend telling a child that you like another kid more - that could really hurt them. Everyone should feel that there is someone out there that cares for them more than anything else in the world - them personally. So I think that you shouldn't tell such things to your kids. It's like telling a friend that while you love them and all, you really like this other person a hell of a lot more. That would just be unkind - and it's a much bigger deal when they're your children and need unconditional love.
Do parents really love all their children equally?
That small part inside of you that wishes "I wish he were more like his older brother and sister so none of us would have to go through this." You need to push that emotion out of yourself because that emotion is causing you to resent your youngest child. How can your child even concentrate on his studies or basically, anything when everyone around him is comparing him to his older siblings, his every single move is judged by everyone at his school and at home he probably is able to understand that his mother doesn't like it either. You as a mother, need to stop thinking of your son as a shame to your family, every child is a blessing to his/her parents. You need to head to the principal of his school and first of all complain about his biology teacher because that is just like telling the kid "Look how high your sister can score, what's wrong with you?" and second of all, you should explain to the principal that though the older siblings were very amazing your youngest child however is ordinary or rather doesn't even have space to grow HIS talents with everyone constantly comparing him to his older siblings and that you do not want any teacher to compare him to his older siblings. If talking it out with the principal however, still does not work then I suggest having your son change schools and taking him to the countryside where he can relax for a few years and grow stronger mentally and maybe physically if he wishes. Your son isn't even being allowed to grow his talents or anything of his with all the comparison. Hope I helped. :)
In your opinion, do most parents really love their children?
I asked myself the same question over and over again before having my son.When I was pregnant up until he sat up on his own, I doubted myself, I thought I didn’t love him enough. I thought that there was something wrong me. Where was that over whelming emotion that people said I will feel?… It wasn’t there. I was always looking for that..Then one day, while not thinking about it, I sat on the couch with my baby on my lap and then it happened… I sneezed… I was met with this for the first time:Bailey laughed from his belly for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. I got this feeling inside of me, I wasn’t sure if I should cry or laugh so I did both, at the same time. I felt like my heart had jumped out of my chest. I held him close, I couldn’t let go. I felt it, I felt that one thing that I was so desperately looking for. I felt pure love. That’s when I knew that I truly love my son.It doesn’t end there.. That feeling comes every so often, without warning. Yup, I’m that mother who cries when I’m happy or proud. Just recently he had his first school concert for Grade 1, when he came out, it hit me again! I was the only mommy with tears in my eyes and to make matters worse… he was doing a silly dance to the “Macareina” while I cried and smiled at the same time.So to answer you… YES, I am a parent, a single parent and I love my son, enough for two parents (I believe a little bit more than that) and my love for him will never change.I LOVE MY CHILD
Do parents really love their children?
I'm 15 and really doubt this is true. Acording to my perception, most parents don't worry about their kids happiness, don't care about how they feel, frequently humilkiate them and hurt their feelings. They don't love their kids when they get in trouble or when they simply act in a way parents don't like. Many abandon their kids when they are in trouble, it's not true they are always there for them. It seems most of them just want to be proud of their kids, but abandon them if they are not. I think most people will still help their parents even if they are criminals, but parents will abandon their kids in such kids. It's something sad and frustrating to realize you do'nt realy have someone who love you uncondionally and will accept you as you are,
Why parents love their children more than their children love them?
I have two children......a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. 1) I love them unconditionally. There is no love that can ever compare to the love you feel for your child. It flows in the second your first is born and is the most amazing feeling ever! That's when you find out what REAL love is. 2) I take care of them. I make sure they have everything they need even if I can't always give them what they want. I spend time with them and do the things they want to do. I tell them I love them and give them hugs and kisses every day! 3) The love you feel for your child goes deeper than any love you have ever felt or will ever feel, even for your husband/wife. You have a connection with the child because you know that he/she is a part of you and that they are the greatest gift you will ever receive. When you become a parent, you learn how to love someone without expecting anything in return. You will do anything for your baby, including give your own life if it was needed. I hope this answered your question......good luck and have fun when you become a father! :-)
Why do parents love their children?
This isn't a "serious" answer, but your question reminded me of something I heard from a movie or read in a book awhile back (clearly it was awhile back because I can't remember). A character basically said that people have children for selfish reasons related to their own narcissism and pride. They want to create a mini-them that they have control over and can show off. It was described as something deeply subconscious because no one wants to admit/realize that this is their reason for having children. I wish I remembered what this was from. But honestly, I think parental love starts from before birth and stems from the whole fact that they CREATED them. It's the beauty of bringing new life into the world and realizing the miracle that their children came from their own flesh and blood.
Stepparents- Do u really love your stepchildren like your own?
I disagree I think you are able to love your step children as your own. I have a 5 year old son and a 3 year old step son and I love them both to death and love them the same. I have been in my step sons life since he was 1 and I am the only dad he knows and I am in the process of adopting him so I think there is the ability to love your children the same whether they are biologically your children or not.
Do all parents love their children?
Some parents love their children, some don't love their children. It depends on the parents, and it can depend on the children some, too. Some parents love their children no matter what. Some parents are incapable of love.Being biologically capable of producing offspring is not anywhere near the same thing as being emotionally capable of dealing with them appropriately or loving them. This is one of the reasons why some people shouldn't be parents, though certainly not the only one.Now that I've been able to read the subtext, I can relate. My grandmother was jealous of me because i was a Grandpa’s Girl. I didn't like her choice in clothing for me, I hated shopping anywhere but book stores and later computer stores. She thought I read too much, but didn't have any alternatives besides the television.
Do you love your spouse more than your children?
My husband and I have a son whom we love very much and would do anything for. But our marriage does come first. They may be our children now, but we are raising them to be husbands and wives, or independent men and women who will grow up to have their own lives and their own families. You only have your children for 2 decades, but your spouse is meant to be there forever. If you want something to last forever, treat it like you do. When your child leaves and starts their own life, make sure you have not been neglecting your marriage. That is why so many marriages fail. Many people feel like their spouse is a stranger when the kids leave because they have been putting all of their focus on the children and forgetting the commitment they have to their spouse. I think people also forget how important it is for a child to see a strong and loving marriage as a guide for what they should look for. Putting yout marriage first does not mean neglecting your child or loving them less.
Do You Love Your Children Or Your Parents More?
i don't have children, but i can tell you for my parents, they love me, my sister and my brother WAY more than they love anyone else in their lives, incl my grandparents, who probably come a DISTANT second. this is a no brainier, very few ppl i have met actually love their parents more. don't get me wrong, people can have a really close relationship with their parents. But you must have heard of this before, that the only ppl that we'll ever use that cliche " i'd take a bullet for him/her without think twice" almost always apply exclusive to their children. EDIT i find geewhiz answer really interesting, because my grandmother ( my mum'mum) is all love as well, and i was a complete jack*** when i was in my teen, and i can tell you for a fact my mum still LOVED me way more in those years than for my grandmother, who she loves alot as well, but in end of the day, i am her BABY boy she's never going to pick anyone else over me, except for my brother and sister, in that case, she wont pick at all.
