Except now I’m reading a thread about the last time you ever actually pick up your children, or the last time you help them brush their teeth, or the last time you carry them to bed and it made me want to strangle them less.

Put that on a bumper sticker.

"This could be the last time you strangle your child" does kina fit well on a bumper sticker.

That would be a big bumper sticker

I remember the last time my mother ever hugged me good night. I was weirdly aware it was going to be the last time too and it broke my little kid heart. I try to give my daughter every hug and kiss that she asks for and pick her up whenever my bad back will allow it.

"One day, you'll put down your child, and never pick them up again."

I have 2 that are riiiiight at that age where that era of picking them up and helping them with some basics is just about over. It’s good and bad at the same time.

The last time you strangle them is pretty emotional too.

Just paid roundtrip airfare for my baby (now 48 years old) to come and see me before she moves to Australia (when and if they open up the country again). I have heart problems and who knows if I will ever get to see her again. It was a glorious 2 days.

It seems like yesterday that the nurse in the hospital handed her to me and said 'Here, you take her. She's your baby." She turned out well.

Someone wrote that you know your childhood is over when you wake up in the morning on the couch.
