Question for parents...

I know its a silly question :hinna: but…no shame here :snooty:

When one of my nephews cries or gets sad, I literally want to cry or get sad too. Mostly b/c he doesn’t cry that much and I’m just not used to seeing him cry or get upset…Whereas my other nephew can be quite moody and I’m more used to his crying.

Do you guys ever feel like that when ur kids cry? or do you eventually get used to it and don’t let their crying or anything affect you at all?

i try NOT to get affected with her crying. .shes just 8 mnths and she cries for EVERY darn thing. pamper change, clothes change, bath time... all the freakin time. thora be-hiss hona padhta hia. so its a 50-50. there is one instance where i cried cus she was cryin hystericaly and tht was her aqiqa day.. i had guests over and the whole day she was cryin and i didnt know why!!!! thaz the time i cried. other than that i m pretty cool i guess. once she was sick and was sooooooooooo lazy that made me feel v v low :(

Re: Question for parents...

I sometimes have to turn myself off when Jr. cries because he is sleepy yet won't go to sleep. I let him cry it out a bit before I go and try to calm him. He has been sick lately and I have cried coz he is in pain and I don't know how to make it better :'(

I can't even imagine how much it hurts our parents when we are in pain, it must literally kill them inside.... and you know what lately I've just been thinking a lot abt this, we end up hurting our parents one way or the other knowingly or unknowingly yet they still hurt for us...rather than us hurt for them ... its a shame...

Re: Question for parents...

i wish i cud let my baby cry... she cries hysterically..with tears and all...i dunno how mothers make their babies sleep. mine wants to sleep but cries and cries. i just hate the fact that i have to MAKE her sleep. she wudnt sleep until i put a pacifier in her mouth and move around or something. why cant babies sleep on their own.. i hate itttttttttttttttttt. sleepin ka roona toh theek hia but shes so demanding. wants me to sit with her all the time

Re: Question for parents...

I hate kids who cry. Especially on airplanes. You feel like just telling the parents off for being incompetent.

Re: Question for parents...

rizla, sometimes parents can't do much. Air pressure, confinement, can cause the baby to get upset. I used to get irritated too...until I had my own children.

Sara, when my kids are really hurt, it hurts me as well and I want to do whatever it takes to comfort them. As they grow older, you can tell when they are faking it :D

Re: Question for parents…

kids dont cry because the parents are incompetent…!!!..:rolleyes:

Re: Question for parents...

This is a sweet/touching thread. Also makes you feel guilty for hurting your parents :(

Re: Question for parents...

Sometimes it breaks my heart. Sometimes it really annoys me.

Re: Question for parents...

it happens with me most of the time :(

Re: Question for parents...

Whats even worse is when they are sad or hurt but **try **so hard not to cry. I've seen my daughter a few times, holding back her tears and that really hurts me.

Re: Question for parents…

If they are faking it, you ll know it. otherwise I am the same. My nephew had bad flu and he poor bacha was soooooo down. he was only 1 and half yrs old at that time. I couldnt see him in that state, so prayed that Allah plz give me his flu and cure him asap. guess what i got the flu the other day and he was all good, back to his energetic and naughty self :hehe: I took several days to recover though :bummer:

Re: Question for parents...

rizla thats v harsh!!! i used to hate it too but when u hav kids ull know how hard it is... u cant say the parents are incompetent.. some parents are silly they dun pay attention to their kids screaming and runnin around(when they are old enuff to walk) but the others cant do anything if the baby is less than a year old..

Re: Question for parents…

that was SOOOOO sweet of u!!! MA… :slight_smile:

Re: Question for parents…

I hurt when my rugrat niece hurts…she is very brave about it though. She doesnt cry unless its important and she is in pain. Otherwise, she is a hyper and happy little thing. Mashallah.

Once my sister took her to the doc becaus she was sick and after her exam, the doc said based on her ear infections (both ears severly infected), she should be screaming with pain but she wasnt. She just became a little down and mentioned a few times “my ears hurt”. It made me feel so horrible…I had to go to a mehndi that night but couldnt leave her…we had a slumber party that same night with all of her favorites movies, snacks, everything.

I miss my brat now…:crying:

Re: Question for parents…

Or you could have only prayed that Allah cure your nephew without praying “ill” (pun fully intended) for yourself :hehe:

Re: Question for parents...

guys sorry for my ignorance.. i NEVER understood what is the meanin of pun intended or (sic) that they write when interviewing celebrities... ok so i used to(dun get to polish my skills anymore) :( be gud in english but since marriage.................. sigh. so wot DOES it mean

Re: Question for parents...

a "pun" is a play on words. And they are saying they intend that play on words. It's not a coincidence.
