Boo. I cried a lot when Ari was a newborn. Mainly because I was frustrated. Oh and I missed him being in my belly.<br /><br />Mint- Yeah, I could see why your mom would cry in that situation. And I remember my dad crying once when I was little and once like a year ago. You are totally obsessing over the comment message! Chill out woman! I just don't want people writing me hate comments!<br /><br />Keyona - I would get like that with my mom too.<br /><br />Statia- Ha ha! You're lucky! <br /><br />Mrs. B. -Aw! Thanks lady! Yeah, I would agree with that. It is healthy to express your emotions, and for our kids to see is express them.Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-43367107933185837812010-09-27T12:54:14.204-07:002010-09-27T12:54:14.204-07:00I think it's important for us to cry in front ...I think it's important for us to cry in front of our kids-sometimes. And, obviously, in your situation, you can't avoid it. While it may upset Ari in the short term, the chances of him remembering it later are slim, and the chances of it doing any long term harm are even slimmer. I do try to leave the room if I feel it's going to upset them, but at the same time I feel like they need to know that it's OK (and healthy) to express your emotions.<br />And, much like the peeing every 45 minutes and the odd food cravings, this too shall pass. That probably doesn't sound very comforting now, but a bunch of us will be here to be shoulders to cry on when you need it-even if you can't figure out why you're crying!Mrs. B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932453056810889012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-37537734438774188152010-09-27T12:53:55.469-07:002010-09-27T12:53:55.469-07:00I'm a cyborg.

I think I was in Kindergarten. It was very upsetting.<br /><br />Is there any way you can go splash water on your face or something when it happens?<br /><br />P.S. I still can't stand "negative comment will be deleted" - maybe something like "constructive crit is welcomed but hateful comments will be deleted"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-49598199316900790792010-09-27T07:58:30.111-07:002010-09-27T07:58:30.111-07:00I cried in front of Tahira last week when she woul...I cried in front of Tahira last week when she wouldn't eat for days, just because I was stressed. The last time she saw me cry she was a newborn, so she didn't really know what was going on. All she did was laugh at me, like REALLY laugh...hard! <br /><br />It's hard for kids to see their mamas cry though. When I was little I remember feeling so upset when I saw my mom cry. I guess you could say at least you're having a girl now, who will understand your emotion one day, and be there for you when you cry. Boys will be there too, but just wont understand (like husbands lol). <br /><br />I can't remember if I cried a lot when I was pregnant with T.
