Why do they have to grow up so fast?!?

Question

It seems like only yesterday I brought my first daughter home. Now she's 8, my other daughter is 4, and my baby is 4 months old today. *sigh*

Why do they have to grow up so fast? When I was their age, time felt like it was eternal, and 18yo felt like a lifetime away. Now, my days go so fast I hardly have time to think.

Anyone else feel that way?

Answer 1

My "baby" is going to be six soon, I can't imagine where that time went, I still call him baby and I *have* to stop doing that, he's virtually a young man!

Answer 2

It is crazy isn't it!  It seems like I blinked and she was walking. My daughter will be a year on the 30th of this month and it just doesn't seem possible.  

Answer 3

I know...  :(

My oldest is two...

and my second is 5 months on the 20th  :(

It just seems like yesterday I was pregnant with them and bringing them home from the hospital, my 2 year old is talking away and my 2nd is rolling all over the place! It just makes me want to cry!

Answer 4

My dad (who has five daughters) told me something that I have never forgotten.

~*~The days are long, but the years are short.~*~

Answer 5

Yeah right! Waiting to turn 18 seems like waiting to turn 30!

Answer 6

Yes, and even though I'm a young Mom, this makes me feel so old...sigh* I have an 11 year old 6 year old and 4 year old girls! They grow up too fast!

Answer 7

i know i think the baby stage should last longer. lol mine are 4 years and 2 months both girls

Answer 8

Yes!  My baby is off to school in February - for so long it felt like a lifetime away and now it is getting too close to quickly!!  My daughter is two in a few months and I don't know where the time has gone, it seems to have gone so much more quickly the second time around.
