Some people are really good with kids. I am not one of them. I love children, so please do not misunderstand my words. I love them, but I am not particularly good or skilled or patient with most children. We all have our weaknesses. I love being around them, so long as I am not in charge. I especially love children of close friends. I have a level of affection that overtakes my heart because to me, they are like little nieces and nephews. I love their mothers (and fathers) so much that the love spills over into their children. These women are like soul family to me, and I can't get enough spending time with them and their children. I wish there were more time for that.
I love my son and think I'm good with him. For short periods of time.
We all have our talents. My son's teachers have a way with children that has never come easily for me. We have been fortunate to have kind, loving, competent caregivers to help shape Albie's life.
It is good to thank all those that help us to care for our children. I too am so thankful to all that have assisted me with my children. I am always in awe of those that spend their days caring for children. Personally I believe I was a good mom, but most certainly not a good stay at home mom. Teachers are my hero's.
