spoiled children are happy until they have to face the real world then they become very said because it was a lot they should have learned but didnt because they were too busy being spoiled and now its too late...

Sigh....three sad real-life former child star tragic life outcomes. Life's whiz bang/bling sweet when you're the child star of a top hot TV show...until it jumps the shark and gets eventually canned. \n\nChild stars are too young to accept such an end...one that shows the brutal side of Hollywood, who uses them--then dumps them all cold. Sadder still are the child stars who wind up getting ripped off blind by their own parents.  These kids feel hurt when they're not recognized by "fans"; they feel forgotten on top of being exploited and betrayed.\n\nTheir missteps in life are taken out at anger...and it's sad to watch nonetheless.

My sister lost one of her twins to SIDS two years ago. They are still together but she is finishing up her degree and leaving him. I think it puts your life into perspective and if your not happy...happiness suddenly becomes the most important thing.

In too many ways to go into here, but briefly .. kids with unhappy childhoods put up a shell, then later the shell becomes a wall. Kids also assume that their alcoholic family is the only unhappy family there is, suffering because they don't know otheer families in other houses are unhappy too. Read "Adult Children of Alcoholics" for more details -- I cried when I recognized the syndrome in my life. Very good luck to you.

Great question!\n\nI'm the happiest at about 2 a.m., I'll usually wake up (bathroom needs ya know lol) and walk around the house, just making sure.  I'll stand in their dark room and listen to my little girls peaceful breathing in their sleep and hear how clear and healthy it sounds. When the moonlight kisses their cheek and I see the roundness of their little faces, I remember the babies they were, and I am happy.\n\nEach of them is a unique and wonderful gift from God, for like the biblical Sarah, I had to wait, past the point of hope.  Seeing their little faces reminds me of when that gift was new and precious, when I thought I couldn't love them, or God, more.  And I smile because I see now how wrong I was.  I love them and God even more today.  :)

To each their own, or as the song goes "If It Makes You Happy" .. The only ones I really feel bad for are the young kids. Hopefully they can decide for themselves when they get older,.\n\nOn the bright side they use so little resources & create minimal pollution they offset some of the rest of us power consuming folks.

I think that if a person is happy w/ more than one person... than they are truly not happy

It's become a lot happier since having kids.  Before, it really dragged on me to feel obligated to be "merry" and "jolly" and "forgiving", etc., when I just wanted to get through as I would any other time of year.  But my two young boys are royally jacked for Christmas, and their enthusiasm fires up mine.  But yes, we'll really take it on the chin come the January credit card bills.  Yet to see them happy and enjoy things I didn't as a child, will make up for it in many ways.

They are calling people "happy"?  What is wrong with that?

If it makes them happy put them up.\nWhen they are older and dont care you will be glad you did.

I was babysitting my best friend's kids shortly after her dad died.  I was in the kitchen making lunch when I felt like I was being watched.  I looked around and didn't see anything but still had that feeling.  I took a deep breath and said, "The kids will be fine.  I'm taking care of them".  The feeling went away.  She said after I told her what happened that she thought her dad was coming to visit.  I'm sure he was!

When I was 14 I saw a kid beating up a chubby kid.  His friends were laughing at the chubby kid(big boned  lol)and they were hitting him.  All of these kids were skinny.  So I just couldnt take it anymore and started to seperate them.  I pushed the other kids off of him and started to swing some punches but they ran.  The kid that was getting bullied thanked me and said they always beat me up.  I felt so angry at those kids.  3 months later I saw the chubby kid again and he said that those skinny kids never hit him or talk to him anymore.\n\nI felt so happy :)  I felt GOOD inside and I still feel good!\n\nEDIT: Oh sorry I didnt see  "cultural" in your post.  But this story still kinda relates to this. I guess....

When I see my daughter struggling with hurt or sadness and not being able to fix it for her.  When we have to send my boyfriends son home, I worry about him.  When my boyfriend is depressed and I can't cheer him up.  When my mom is sick and I can't mend her.  I don't like to see my loved ones suffer.

Actualy we love our children when they are with us or away evenly. However when they are gone for awhile we begin to miss thier smile.. thier laughter.. the silly things that they say and do. And i bet that even though we hate trailing around after them picking up forgotten toys and dirty dishes and clothes... that we would miss doing the very things the drive us mad when they are gone.

It is in this world. Go out and look for it. Look for it in the faces of smiling children. Look for joy, real joy. Not people pretending to be happy or gaining pleasure from the suffering of others. I picked up babies not so long ago, who had lost their mothers and craved a little tender loving care. Just helping them get clean and making them feel loved brought a divine feeling of love to them and to me.

All these negative responses...its sad. \nYes, I do believe God was watching over those children. Its nice to hear good news with all the bad news that is circulating in today's society. Thank you. :)
