MOMS: Picturing your children?

trickeytricky · December 2011

Can you picture your children when they are older?

I have the hardest time picturing Zac as an adult. . . like as big as DH and I, it's strange - - and it sometimes worries me that I can't "see" him. <- my weirdness

I can't either. I can't even picture her as a kindergartner.

I can, but I think the number one reason I can is because she looks identical to me and my sister. Since we are adults, it's not hard to picture her as one who looks pretty similar.

Thinking about what she'll grow up to be/ do/ become is harder for me.

I get the same sort of feeling---like, since I can't "see" them, maybe I won't be around at that time? I know it's a little crazy and DH doesn't really get it.

YES! And it's not so much that they won't be there is why I can't see them, it's that I won't be there to see them.

I realize I'm in a different place in my life, but I can never picture myself as a mom. I have a hard time picturing myself with my own child. It's really weird to me. It sometimes makes me wonder if I will ever have kids because I can't see that in my mind.

I don't have kids (yet...hopefully some day!), but I'm really weird about this. I can easily picture our "kids" at ages 10 or so and up, but I can't at all picture us with young children. I still sometimes say that I am going to adopt a 12 year old because I can't picture us with young kids!

Sometimes I have a hard time picturing it. But, if I go off of what they look like now, I think Tessa might look similar to me when I am older and Kellen is probably going to look a lot like my little brother. Kellen looks and acts almost identically as my brother did when he was little. Tessa looks a lot like I did when I was little, just with a lighter complexion, lighter eyes, an lighter hair.

You and me sister. I sometimes look at DH and ask him if he can picture us having this little thing that's going to run around our house and talk to us.

It's weird lol.

I can, but only because she looks exactly like DH. I hope she doesn't bald like him.

naylon511 · December 2011

I can't. I have a hard enough time imagining her in grade school let alone as an adult.

This is me exactly! I can see her up to age 3-4, but anything beyond that is too strange for me to picture. Every once in a while DH & I still talk about how we can't believe we'll have an 8 & 10 year old someday (or whatever other ages). So weird to me.

I can sorta picture Abby as a teenager because sometimes she just looks so grown up. But the twins, I have no idea!

I have tried to picture Liam older, and I can't either! I think its because I want to keep him my little boy forever so I live in blissful ignorance;)
