i wont be able to stop thanking everyone for their words...

joy... thing is i talk to him everyday, maybe he gets bored? hehehe, with mommy telling him over and over "I LOVE YOU."

azi and brIt... yep the right word... SACRIFICE, more like - fiat of our work...

kids... i was just taken aback by my son's words... so innocently said but went through my every fiber... and shook me LOL

its reaaly being away with your kids specially mommies like us. you really have to sacrifice everything for your family's future...hearing your kids telling you those things realyy hurts our feeling...but we have to understand them too...just dont stop calling them and chats with them as often as possible...

By britexpat• 7 Jun 2009 07:23

You used the correct word - Sacrifice.

We make these choices for the betterment of ourselves and our families. However, in reality, a child does not understand these things till perhaps its too late.:(

As a single parent, I've been away most of the time from my kids and them growing without me by them, seeing them grow up...it's really heart breaking.

Come to think of it this way: your husband is there to constantly remind your child/children that Mommy (you) is making the biggest sacrifice ever to give them the best any mommy would want for her kids.

He's 3 and a half years old...he wouldn't understand things yet...but try to be patient. Set a schedule...let him see you everyday (or whatever time possible) via webcam so he would be accustomed that he will see you at that time. Then he will remember you.

I know it's hard...but you're not alone :-)

happy and saba are right, phone isn't always the solution, there are times when he won't talk at all, id just hear his whimpers - of i dont like to talk to mommy...

shoe, we have the chat and webcam yeah, all i see is a blur of him running here and there infront the camera LOL.

try saying something about toys, he ususally responds to that....and i got him for a full 10 mins...LOL, but it doesnt work for saba either...

ALL yer words of comfort are doing a lot... THANK u all

it makes me think of my 4 years old son, his father is in doha and we, me and my son are in pakistan...my son is so madly fond of his father but only when he is home after every eight weeks otherwise he would never talk to his father on phone no matter how i try to allure him into toys games daddy will bring..... my husband smetimes gets very upset just like babbly....but i always feel he just misses him a lot and kids find it sometimes hard to express their feelings...may be that is why he avoids

By Happy Happy• 7 Jun 2009 00:27

Lot's of kids hate to talk on the phone, even to dear ones. I'm speaking from experience, first hand :((. Your kid is so little and surely didn't mean to intentionally hurt your feelings. Lighten up, I hope you're visiting family soon.

Bubbly I know how you feel when my son was 3 and I call him he always ask my "Are you my mom?" and when I go back home for vacation after 1 1/2 yrs he don't want me to hug him that really hurts and now he's 7 he will ask me why you don't call? when are you coming back? he will always ask me how many days left before you go back home and that hurts..he already outgrown the strange feeling between me and him constant communication even he don't like to talk to you send him cards or letters with some drawings that he will interact between you and him. Try this letters it works with my son might it work with you and your son...ur a nice mom ...

everything will be okay..he's just a child, soon he'll understand..just think of some ways that may increase your communication with him..I bet he misses you so much.

bubbly sometimes or maybe a lot of times it happens also to me. . . my daughter is almost same age as yours. there is also times that she doesn't want to talk because she's not in the mood. i just think that is normal for her age . . . dont take it seriously your here for them. . . .

brought back old memories whenever my dad used to come down on a vacation the moment he enters the house i'd start to cry.

Hilarious indeed... but if you look at the brighter side of it you should be glad it was not ur husband who said that...lol
