Love for my son
This post isn't a question or a discussion (althogh comments are welcome), but more of an outlet for me to air some strong feelings...

I have this all consuming love for my son (8 months old, pic below). When I hold him, or even look at him, these amazing feelings inside me - which I never knew I had - come up. He makes me feel so good, that it makes me want to cry...I really mean it.

I look at him, and I just want to protect him from everything that's out there, and to ensure he'll have a good life. During the day I find myself counting the minutes until I'll get home to see him...He really is my life.

My mum and I used to often joke who loves each other more: my mum loves me more than I love my mum, or vice versa. She used to tell me that only when I had a kid, I'd know what the love of a parent to a child feels like, and how strong it. She was right, it really is all consuming.

OK, that's it for my yearly quota of emotions. Now it's back to being macho!

Whovian, to find the good girl, you have to be the good boy. Love is not the consumption of another, but the gift of oneself... Mary M Kenny, 2008

Welcome to the best club in the world , the "parent club". My son and I often say who loves each other more and it started as comparing distances such as "to the moon and back" but as soon as he understood infinity we pretty much stuck with that. With my daughter it's different now she's older her reply is usually "Whatever" or "that's nice for you", but I know she feels the same but it's not so cool to say it.

Whovian:

To find the good girl you got 2 options:

  1. be the good boy, OR:
  2. to compromise! You don't have to compromise on everything tho. I had to compromise only on looks & personality, and then I found my partner in no time!

(To my partner: you know I jest and that I love you!)

Your reply made me smile...thanks mate. :)

I think a good long grounding may remind your daughter that loving dad and saying it is a must in this household!:D

I also have another way for you and Josh to finally settle who loves the other one more, based on what I still do now with my mum (even tho I'm now thirty seven  in my late twenties): see who can hug the other with more strength. You're likely to win in the next 10 years, and then it's going to be all Josh...(-:

My other half started something with "mini me",instead of who do you love the most.....

It is "Daddy or chips?":DThis then goes through the whole range of family and friends.And has her in stitches when she replies chips to something!!!!!!

I think she was the same age as your son,when i had that uncontrollable feeling of total love for her,and would move the earth for them.I f i remember rightly I then burst into tears!!!!:D

Thanks mate. Now I know never to give chips to my son, so there won't be any competition for our love...(-:

Yup, tears in my eyes when I hold him is a common thing...

I used to share an appartment in Amsterdam with a girl and most of the time when she saw the plants in my room she told me:"If you can't keep a plant alive, same counts for a relationship". So I better wait untill I got that fixed or find a woman who is great with plants :D
