Answer 8

Health, work and my sanity

Answer 9

I'm glad that I at least have enough to make sure my son doesn't go to bed hungry, and that he has a bed to sleep in. We don't have much, but we've found that the best things in life are indeed free, and are happier than most families I know with way more money. It's the small moments i'm grateful for- watching him fall asleep at night with a smile on his face, watching him discover nature when we hike in the park. He's only 5, so he still has such a magical imagination, and that really helps keep me going.

Answer 10

That I learned from my mom's problems and do not abuse my children.

Sorry for the hard times, I've been there and will do more very soon (but this is known which I'm still not sure if it is better cause I'm prepared, or worse because I'm aware). Just keep your head up and enjoy when your little ones smile at you! I remember one day of crying non stop, and my oldest came up to me at one point and gave me the BEST hug anyone ever gave me (even my husband). That made everything else seem so stupid for wasting my energy when I had this little girl trying to cheer me up!! And if you are the least bit religious, praying does wonders!

Answer 11

my two beautiful kids Abby 9 years old and Brett 13 years old they always make me smile even when i have a bad day or when I'm sad

Answer 12

Thankful that my kids are safe and healthy. I am grateful for those moments when they do something totally crazy and I can't help but laugh. Grateful that God loves us and is taking care of us.

I did not know being a mom was going to be this hard, and there are a lot of hard times. Hang in there. I know some days seem unbearable. Consider talking to someone. Pray.

Answer 13

I am grateful just to have my children.

Even though they give me hair raising moments, and stretch the boundaries daily, I would be lost without them.

Even though they have their problems, medically speaking, I still get to tuck them into bed every night.

And for that I am grateful.
