So it's my eldest's birthday today and as much we've made it as special as possible obviously it's not quite the same. I'm feeling very emotional today because my baby is not a baby anymore 
Does anyone feel emotional on their children's birthday or am I just a weirdo? |

"You’re not a weirdo. Every time O hits his month older milestone I get emotional 
God knows how I’ll be when he turns one"
Kids do funny things to us don't they? Good to know it's not just me  |

Definitely not emotional. Our son was four weeks old yesterday and that felt like a major milestone. Beginning to realise everything to do with a child’s growth and development is going to come with a lot of emotion Xx |

Yep! I think I have tears in my eyes every single day because he’s done something to make me so chuffing proud |

Nah, not weird at all. Mine’s 18 now and I wrote her a poem for her milestone birthday with a three verses for each year. I was crying when I wrote it and we were both sitting there with tears streaming down our faces when she read it  |

Nooo... he won’t be coming North with me straight away. I have someone to meet on the way up and children won’t be part of that, and I’ll have some work to do in Scotland as well. It’ll be a busy trip... but we’ll be coming up as a family later in the year. You’ll definitely meet him then |

It must be so hard for them. We're adults and only just coping.
My eldest has missed out on his final year of school and it breaks my heart. He isn't that fussed to be honest. But his birthday is soon and we won't be able to celebrate the way we would have wanted to.
We can only do what we can though?!

I often look back on videos of my son when he was a little boy. The most adorable, innocent and sweet child one could imagine. I was constantly hugging him and being affectionate as if giving thanks for having someone so wonderful in my life.
I realize now that little boy is gone as he's a 14 year old teenager just 4 inches shorter than I am. Moody, but still with that core of sweetness that makes me swell with pride.
Even when he becomes a grown man, part of me will always look at him as my sweet little boy. Shame Corona kept me from his birthday recently. |

I was just going through old facebook albums today with my kids.. I like when nostalgia kicks in.. and telling them about the day they were born, what happened and any funny stories surrounding pregnancies and births. embrace it! It's not the same but it's a memory to hold too.. my eldest had a lockdown bday as well. Happy bday to your - always - baby ! And happy motherversary as my friends say x |

Wait until the day they leave home. I was an absolute wreck and cried all the way home on the 75 minute journey.
I get what you mean about them being young too. Time flies so quickly, I can feel emotional when I see them sleeping as they look innocent angels and I wish I could keep them innocent sometimes. |

I often feel emotional when I think about my son not just on his birthday, although his birthday is a very special day for a number of reasons. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to be parted from him at this time and truly feel for you, if you aren’t able to see your children at the moment. I am eternally grateful he is home from Uni at the moment and I can listen to him making his music in the next room, and give him a hug each night and when he finally rises from his pit each day. Lockdown has brought us closer again and we are often reminiscing over dinner or while out for our daily walks. |

Just take lots of photo’s, it’s wonderful to look back on and great for embarrassing them in later life
