At 15 I only can dream about her going back to 5. Or before even. We had so much fun and it was so much simpler. I even took out one of her cute pictures when she was 3 in her Easter Dress that had ruffles and lace with her hair in doggie ears and put it on the fridge. I am preparing for moving and I had her memory box out the other night. When I picked up the dress the jingle bells rung that I sewed into the hem. She ask me if I bought it that way and I told her I put them in cause I thought it was so cute. She looked at me like I was out of my mind.
This might be selfish of me but I miss the adoration you see in their eyes when they see you. Now my son is 17 and my daughter is 10 and I sometimes feel I don't know them anymore.
My kids are 7 almost 2 1/2 and 10 months. I am right in the middle of it with two of my kids and while I will miss the cuteness, I much prefer my son's age. I like it more when they are independent, sleeping thought the night and potty trained.
I desparately miss my boys being small. They are 9 and 13 now, and have lost all innocence about the world. They are pretty self-sufficient, and honestly don't need me much other than for problems. I don't know how to like any of the things that they do, and they are often much smarter than me about things. They can talk rings around me. I am intimidated by them often. I feel like I have no place in our home, and no purpose in life.

You need to find yourself a good therapist. ...because you should not be intimidated by your own young sons or feel like you have no place in the family. This has nothing to do with the fact they are 9 and 13...
I miss the cuteness (and mine were extra cute, of course ) but not the work. I'm glad mine are raised and soon to be on their own. I'm tired!
If I feel a need to be around cuteness, I can always volunteer for the nursery at church or something. But really, I'm too tired for that too! (especially since other people's kids are just not as cute as mine were) LOL
I do miss those years. My child is 5 and is my only one (ever). We went from everyone loving him and taking care of him in preschool and before, always saying how cute he was, to the depressing, sterile public school system, where so far as I can tell all the teachers see is little walking test scores, and I don't see him for 8 hours at a time.

Really? None of his teachers know his name or anything?
my daughter is 8. I enjoy every single moment with her. But still when I go through the photo's of age 1 or 2 I feel like this age is so cute.
