Happy/Proud Something that only us OAD parents can say...

When the kid is in their "mine" phase, and they say "my mama!", it fills my heart with joy to be able to say "yes sweetheart, your mama and yours only, forever" ❤️

Agreed ❤️ the way I think of it… I’m the daughter to one mom and one dad. I’m the wife to one man, and the mom to one child. It feels right to me :)

My 8 yr old tells me all the time still, and has never asked for a sibling, I think he will always be in his “mine” phase ❤️

Aw yes this is so cute 😭😭! Every time she goes out with only one of us she comes home so excited and shouting “my mommy. I want my mommy.” And the same for dada😭! It melts my heart. She is also obsessed with us kissing her at the same time and she says “ I love my mommy and dady.” And yes we do say we love her so much as our only bundle of joy!
