Love? How much can you really love your child/children?

Question

Seriously i think i love my son to much he is 8 months old and i never knew it was possible for your body to show such strong emotions like this, does every parent feel the same? i mean honestly, I just can not get over the fact that i love him so much, it scares me somtimes, it is amazing how u would do anything for your child even die for them, is this normal?

Answer 1

Yes it's normal... I always said "You don't know real love until you have a child"  I mean you love your spouse, parents even siblings, but there is no love like the love you feel for your children.

Answer 2

It's absolutely normal... and it doesn't stop with your grandchildren, either- I have 3 now and I would die for them in a milli-second just as I would for my 3 daughters. I'm SO blessed to have 2 of my daughters and all 3 grands living with me and the other daughter 2 miles down the road! I'm a lucky grandma!

Answer 3

yes it is normal when I had my kids it was like how can you love someone so much and you just met them

Answer 4

I know exactly what you mean.  Every morning I  wake my daughter up to get ready for school. I pick her up and sit down with her on my lap and then I just hold and hug her while I think about how much I love that kid.

Answer 5

of course this is normal!

Answer 6

very normal. sometimes i get lightheaded to think about my kids not being here. i always tell people you don't really know what love is until you have a child. i have an obsession/dreams/visions of my kids getting hurt. i have to leave the room and deal with it, it becomes so strong sometimes. i don't smother them, but it is hard to think about. this love you are feeling will continue to grow stronger and does not have a limit!

Answer 7

of course it is! He will benefit so much from your love. Just let him know how much you love him

Answer 8

I can't speak for every parent. I however, can not put into words the amount of love I have for my son. From the moment we were blessed with him, I was overcome with such emotion - like I have never felt. Sometimes just watching him run around, playing, doing whatever will still bring a tear to my eye I love him so much. There is nothing more normal than being a parent, I assume for the majority, this love we feel is all part of the package.

Answer 9

I hope it's normal, because I love my kids more than I could have ever imagined. Sometimes I cry because I know some day my daughter may suffer, or be in pain, or have her heart broken, and I just love her so much, I don't ever want her to hurt! It is a crazy, overwhelming sensation...like nothing I've ever felt, and it's amazing!
