[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 328945, member: 84"] Children have a tendency to believe their parents are like super heros. I've always found it is good to remind them occasionally that we are just as human as anyone else and that we also have feelings. Yes. While I don't dwell on it, I've always been upfront and honest about both my physical and mental health with my kids, most especially when I felt they were at an age where they could understand. My kids all know this xmas hasn't been very xmasy for me. I've had a severe case of the blahs. 1. cuz I've got an instructor from hades who ruined my break and holiday by telling us we'd have an 11 chpter test the 1st day of class. 2. because there was no really money to do a darn thing. And while I don't ever really do the materialistic thing at xmas I do enjoy searching and finding a gift for those I love that I really know they'll enjoy. That's nearly impossible with a budget of 60 bucks. so my cheer went phhhttt right at the get go. The kids get it, understand it, and are not hassling me about it. Which is nice, cuz I think if they did I'd feel worse. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
