Will you share your love story with your kids? 
I probably won't share everything!
You might also enjoy...
-
I know about theirs...but I probably won't tell everything to my kids!! Just parts.
-
My parents have a love story? I'll tell my kids if they ask.
-
Oh yeah, my mom loved telling us how she did NOT like my dad, but he wouldn't go away, so she finally agreed to go out with him so he'd leave her alone. *Then*, the rest is history
I'll tell the basics, but I won't get into ALL the details
-
I know about theirs. It's really cute. We'll tell our LO and future LO about ours. They don't need to hear about how I was sloppy drunk when I met him among other aspects of the first night we met.
-
My mom loves telling us how she only went out with my dad b/c she really liked his car!
-
They were high school sweethearts.... got divorced 13 years later - not much of a story. I am recording me and DH's story though =)
-
@swurlygurl: Haha, that is my Mom's story....they met in junior high and she ignored him until they were 22-23!
-
yup! it was NYE and my mom had just broken up with her bf, she went to a club and my dad was there 'cause he worked for the band that was playing. he came up and asked her for a new year's kiss, she said no and they lived happily ever after
i'll tell our someday kids our story one day, granted it'll be the rated G version. it's cute and we were both sober & not in a club. we both liked each other, but he was my trainer and i was newly single and not wanting to date anyone, my power went out and he came over to help me light a lantern... and we lived happily ever after
-
I am assuming there wasn't a lot of love involved in my parents story given my Mom was 17 and my biological Dad isn't on my birth certificate, LOL.
Age appropriate DD and future LOs can hear all they want about our story!
-
Ummm my parents don't have one... but we will definitely share ours cuz I love it!
-
Nope. My parents divorced when I was 5 and refused to talk to and about each other ever since. Lol
I will tell my kids my love story with my husband. I have so many questions about my mom and dad that never got answered. I want my kids to know how it all started and how much I love their dad.
-
Yes! The stories are kind of similar. My parents grew up together and so did me & Dan. We both started dating in high school. We both got married after 4 years of dating. I think it's cute.
I can't wait to share our story with Sadie (and other LO's). I'm so thankful I can share all of it without needing to leave anything out. We were best friends, fell in love, were each other's first kiss, and saved ourselves for one another. I hope Sadie finds a love like ours someday!!
-
@photojane: Sweet story!
-
Yep! I can't wait to share our story with our kid(s)!
-
Yes! They met in junior high when my mom was the new girl, and my dad helped her in math class. They got married right after graduation, and just had their 30th anniversary
I will tell our kids ours someday too!
-
@yin: HA. I have the same question.
I know my parents were set up on a blind date, but I've never heard either of them talk about falling in love with each other.
-
Yep! We also grew up knowing about their IF-they were pretty open about it. I'd like to share our journey with our kids as well, even if some of the details get left out.
-
My parent's didn't have a "love story" as such. They met in the pub while he was still married. He abandoned his two kids for her. They had me and got divorced.
I will share the story of how we met with our children, yeah.
I might leave out the bit about how drunk I was though. Not cool.
-
My parents' roommates were dating, so they set them up. No idea what happened to the roommates. I've heard the first time my Dad said I love you to my Mom was at a football game. His team was playing really bad, so he got mad and left, leaving her there. Which is pretty apropos for my Dad.
Our kids will know our story....that we met at a bar and started dating shortly after. But they won't need to know that I made out with DH on his couch the first night I met him
-
I LOVE my parent's love story and I think we have a great story ourselves. So I will tell them both.
My dad use to know when my mom was walking home in front of his house in jr high so he would always come out and watch her walk by and to not be too obvious he would hide in a tree. He told his sister that he was going to marry her.(He was 14) they started dating when he was 16 engaged at 17 married at 20 and are still happily married
-
@photojane: that's a cute story!
-
Our story isn't too romantic, and I'm not sure if I'll tell little one that we were both in serious relationships (me 6+years, DH 2+) and ended them to be with each other...it might teach her that no one is off limits... Uhoh. (:
My parents met at the laundry room of their trailer park. Super random! But I like knowing that love is everywhere and 30+ years later, they are still super in love (as in they still hold hands all the time)
-
Yes, they started dating when my mom was 13 and my dad was 14. They've been married for 33 years and had 10 years of dating before that. (That's not to say it was all sunshine and daiseys... marriage is work yo!)
I'll share our story (all the while glossing over the randy teenager stuff! ha!).
-
I have no idea because my parents wouldn't share with us.
I will probably share with our kids though!
-
Yes! I love my parents' story and have a picture of their first date on my fridge. We always celebrated the day they met as kids and still do.
I'll tell our kids the brief version of our story and probably leave out a few parts.
-
My parents started dating when my mom was 12 and dad was 15. They got married 2 months after my mom turned 18. I came along 5 years later and then my brother after that. They are happily married after 33 years and they are the perfect role models of true love in my opinion.
I will definitly tell my kids DH and I's love story. It's pretty PG
-
It makes me sad that we don't have a super awesome story. We met online. It's not that interesting, haha! Minus the part about how I almost ignored his first message because his grammar is atrocious and that is why they should always come to mom for help with their English homework.
My parent's story is funnier now that I'm older and know the whole story. They met at work, where my dad was the co-assistant manager. The other assistant manager was the owner's son, who was always high and doing shit that made no sense. So he hired my mom as a cashier and introduced her to my dad, who said, "What did you hire another cashier for? We don't need another cashier!" Bahaha. Smooth, dad. Obviously at some point he became glad she was hired and they continued dating all summer and then for the next 4 years that my mom was away at school, and then a year after that while she taught up north since it was the best paying job she was offered and they needed money for the wedding.
-
Sort of. It was an arranged marriage but my dad used to tell me a funny story about how he "picked" my mom. LOL
I'll def share a cliff note version. We'll leave the negative points out of it.
-
Bits and pieces that I've put together. They worked together at the police department (mum was a dispatcher, dad was a cop.) my dad may or may not have been married at the time. Possibly he was already getting a divorce before they met. My mom got pregnant with my brother and they got married 3 months later. They've been married for 31 years and are still very much in love!
I don't think I'll share our story with our kids either. It's too complicated to even explain to someone now. And it's similar to the above story.
-
For the most part yes.... what's even better is I'm watching their second unfold! They've been divorced for 11 years & have recently started dating again!
G was already 5 when DH & I got together so he already knows most of it. We'll definitely share it with P & any other kiddos we have in the future. Love that we can share our foundation of friendship before "relationship" with them!
-
Yes. They were young, it was intense, and over not long after I was born.
I'll definitely share my and DH's story with my future LOs.
-
Sorta? I know they met in their apartment complex pool, and that my dad cooked for her parents to impress them(my dad is an amazing cook). I know she kicked him out once before they reconciled and got married... and I know they got divorced after 26 years.
My kiddo will know mine! We met through a mutual friend and it basically took one date to know we were done looking. Moved in together a month later! Next week will be 4 years to the day that we met! Um, we moved fast
