Whats the point when one day they'll love their spouses more than you and no longer be there for you? Couldn't you just use all that time and energy on something else that would benefit you rather than hurt you?

ITS THE CIRCLE OF LIFE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU WANT TO SEE THEM HAPPY AND IN RETURN YOU FEEL THAT LOVE. SO WHAT THEY LOVE THEIR SPOUSE MORE THAN YOU AND GUESS WHAT THEY WILL LOVE THEIR CHILDREN MORE THAN YOU. BUT YOU DID THE SAME. THEREFOR THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

I dont belive children love their spouses more,its a different love who is the first person a daughter calls when she is having marraige problems?Mommy and daddy. Me and my parents had a fall out when I was young over a man they didnt care for but I did and I quit talking to them for a long time but now me and that man are no longer together but I still have the love of my parents and that is something you can never walk away from,unlike relationships and marriage.They will hurt you but they will also love you more than anyone else including spouses it is a bond that is stronger than any other, My children are the world to me and I know they will break my heart one day but I will always be there for them when someone breaks theirs,.

The whole point to have kids is to bring productive human beens to this world, not to for fill our ego of been parents just because it was told so to us. God borrow you Ther kids you should hug them really tight and then let them go free. The love for their spouse is a different love than the parents love. I live in the other side of the world from my parents I came here for my husband I miss my parents more than anything , but I love my husband too, my mother ones told me that her life was decided by her, and it was my time to decide what to do with mine. I understand that now that i am a mother. If you kid will Not be there for you is because you didn't teach him/her to be there for you it has Nothing to do with their spouse you have to stop been selfish and understating they have a life on their own. Support them, love them, but let them be free.

There is more than one type of love.The love and affection we feel for our parents and family members is different than our love for a spouse. Our love evolves over our lifetime to include all the people in our life.Just because our children move out on their own and meet their partner does not mean they stop loving their parents. In many cases the love of a couple evolves to the point they want to share their life and love at a further level and they themself become parents. Love is a wonderful and ever changing facet of our life, growing pains and all.If we a truly lucky we find a love that lasts a lifetime.

hey! u have a different perspective of life cycle.. u should think like this.... giving birth to kids is not for our satisfaction .... the major reason is.. that there has to b one to carry on ur family to the next generation...or else ur family will end... and being a female ... bearing a child and feelings when u have a foetus in u womb is AWESOME... nobody can describe that feeling.... a female is complete after conceiving.... motherhood and fatherhood is what parents die for.. and kids living there own life after some 20 yrs... is actually the motto of parents .... y thy send their children to school and make them study and hit them when r wrong... to make them a good citizen and a good person... to lead their own life with easiness after their death... so some day thy has to go and live ...... just think u would have been in this world if ur parents would have thought the same way,.... try thinking twice ..fro both the sides.. u will get the answer.. Best of Luck

Maybe your kids will love their spouse alot but the way you love your parents is totally different your kids will always love you no matter what but they do need to have a life of their own just like you do, kids are magical !

Because kids are the most precious things on earth and it is amazing getting to see them grow up and they are a part of you that you will have nothing else in the world that you could love more. They will still be there for you but they grow up and you should be happy for them if they do get married but trust me they will always love there parents and always need them. I could not think of anything else that would benefit me more!!

You don't love your spouse more than your parents... It's just a different kind of love that you have for them.

They won't love their spouse more than their parents. They gave them life. Its nice to see your child bring another life into the world.

I don't love my husband more than mine parents, I just feel a different love for them. As it is, I want my son and future children to grow up healthy and marry someone they love who treats them rights and have babies of their own. Children are the most wonderful gift from God. You'll understand the first time your baby smiles at you or says Momma/Dadda.

You love your kids but they are not your possessions.
they love you but they don't possess you either
what you give them is a part of yourself that will live on after you pass away - it is up to you WHAT part of you gets passed on
I also believe that having children to think about helps us to guard against living purely selfish lives and makes each of us a better person as a result because we learn to organize ourselves around the needs of another for a period of our lives.

Me and both actual one of my sisters have tried to get her to bypass into our houses so she did no longer ought to stay on my own. She needs to stay at her position on th e island close to the coastline, yet will at the same time as "she receives waiting" We see her many times, i'm particular that my childrens will keep on with the examples of existence they have been given. i love my little ones, my daughter says that she will be in a position to not in any respect go away me, she says that once she marries she and her husband will stay with me and that i visit visual show unit her childrens at the same time as they bypass to the flicks. Now i comprehend that that isn't be going to take position yet its sweet.

So they can give you Grandkids...and then you'll love them even more...except it's more easier cuz you can just spoil them and let your kids deal with it when the kids act up
