My first was at age 13. It was miserable and it hurt and it wasn't the least bit special or anything. Him and I hate each other now.

No I haven't, do you know of a child who has passed away? Or has any child ever died in the house that you live in?

A student that lived in a youth group home told me he wished  I was his dad.\n\nA student that just graduated wrote a nice messege on the school year book thanking me for encouraging him and for pushing him during Gym class.\nHe's now off to college on a football with a scholarship

Cursed in front of my children.  I never heard my parents swear and I feel terrible that I let my children down in that way.

the rudest thing someone has ever said to me actually came from a 4 year old. i don't blame her, i blame her parents.\n\ni work in childcare and my mother works as an evaluator of childcare centers. one day she was assigned to evaluate the center that i worked at. when she came into my classroom, i told the children that this was MY mommy. most of the kids thought it was great. they loved seeing their teachers mommy. but this one little girl says, "that's your mommy? but she's white! and your black! THAT'S GROSS!!!" i had no idea what to say.

They were the worst for me.  I was awkward and the kids were really cruel.  I felt so alone. I thought about killing myself sometimes because I did not think it would end.  Now I wish I could go back and hold my own hand.  I think of that poem, Persephone.\n\n"My dear, my dear, it's not so dreadful here."

I don't know what your troubles were but they sound pretty bad.  We support you and your great positive attitude.  I lost alot of loved ones in my family including my nephew when he was just 15.   I know what you are saying and thank God every day that I and my children are alive to share another day together.  God bless you!

LOL... Yes, I was carrying on my 2 year old daughter standing in line at the bank weeks ago... She farts so noisy and smelly, that nobody believes it was her and there was this lady looking at me like the worse person she ever saw in her entire life.. (you know..) , that I cannot resist to laugh out loud and say... Sorry!...\n\nI was not going to blame my baby for such an embarrassed moment... right!!!!...

A POSITIVE approach, of course :\nConvince yourself that this disappointment is only a temporary setback to your plans, and begin by taking practical steps [one step at a time, please !] towards overcoming what had disappointed you...\nThere is an old adage, that 'Failure is the first step to Success'. Well, consider this disappointment as the second step !\n:-))

wow hard one to answer and only you knows the answer to that,i guess it depends in what ways your fellow has let you down.\nYou cant keep forgiving him and will he allways be that way as it wont just be you he lets down but your child together to.\nYou need to take each day as it comes and lay down a few hard rules and see what happens,trouble is will you follow your head or your heart\ngood luck

They may not have been taught to, some people see it as wrong to be disappointed with God but many people in the Bible voiced their disappointment. The key is knowing that God is big enough to take it, gracious enough to forgive it, and loving enough to do the best for you anyway.

I was pretty old, like 8 or 9 at the time. my friends parents came to pick him up, our parents ended up talking for a while. My parents had recently changed religions, much to my disappointment one that didn't celebrate Chistmas. At the time I thought it was all about getting presents. Anyway, we were going inside and they turned to us and asked us if we still beleived in Santa. I thought it was a trick question (cuz Santa was difinietly real for me). My friend without hesitation answered no. I stood there motionless and they laughed at me cuz they knew I did still believe in Santa. At the time I felt like shit but looking back I think I would have laughed at that 9 year old too.
