My name is Kim. I am a mother of 3 boys. 9,5 and 9months old. I had a little girl which is my 'angel' now she pass away at 31 days old. I would love to have her with me but she is in a better place now. No one ever told me being a mother was the hardest job I have ever done. Dont get me wrong I LOVE being a mom but it the hardset job I ever try to do. My kids are my life. There always there when no one else is. I always put them first.

Hi, Kim. I also am the mother of three boys, aged 45, 40 and 39. Sounds like you did a better job with spacing than I did.

And yes, being a mom is the hardest job there is. Full of frustration, guilt, "I wish I had"s, and full of lots of laughs, giggles, joy, and rewards.

I remember that for a long period of time I wished I could have some conversation other than toilet training, and deeply wished I could close the door when I went to the bathroom and not have someone knocking on it or yelling "Mom, he (did/said) this/that!"

But, on the whole, I feel like a successful parent. All three of my grown sons are still speaking to me, and like me. Sometimes they even ask me for advice. I enjoy them, and every so often I get feedback that says they think I did a good job.

Now all I have to worry about is biting my tongue when I see some of the things my middle son and his wife are doing with my dear granddaughter, who will be 1 year old this month.

And, by the way, welcome to Momsview. We think we have a nice, friendly, and comfortable community. You'll find yourself asking for and giving advice, comfort, support, and laughing at some of the things others post. So jump right in and join the fun.

Hi, I'm a mom to 2 teenage daughters. I grew up with sisters and have only daughters. Boys are still kind of a mystery to me! LOL!

I'm sorry you lost your only daughter.
