 My kids

I have 8 kids...but I only gave birth to one... that's my boy ...but I've adopted the neighborhood kids as my summer kids and I guess I'm their summer mom...They range in age from 9 to 3 1/2....and they all want to do something different...so I find myself playing duck duck goose, baseball, kickball, house and aliens...It's gotten to the point where mom's walk their kids down to the front of the building and come back 2 hours later.  The other day, this little boy, Joshua, came crying to me...i said "what's wrong, are you ok?"  he said yeah, I'm just really thirsty...and the poor kid was crying....my heart broke...i couldn't get him water fast enough...i felt for him like he was my kid...but i feel so bad because we're moving in August...and, they are my son's friends...his first real neighborhood friends...you never forget those...these kids are attached to him, how am I gonna tell them we're moving?

Not very easily. It feels strange seeing it from the parent perspective, I am sure. I never had to move and never really had neighborhood friends much less school friends...so I don't know what it was like. Kids would join my school and make friends in no time and have stories to tell while I sat in my corner keeping myself busy..watching..wondering.

I suppose the best he could do is to make penpals of them(as Flanders says to his kids when they move back to Springfield from Humbleton, PA..."But, I have a girlfriend.""Well, son, now you have a penpal""Yay!").

Hey Luci, we moved Nov 30, my kids had great neighbours and a live in Dad..... they were sad to lose their old neighbours, but they've found new ones and their Dad now lives out.

I guess what I'm saying is kids adjust and they find new ways to have fun...

oh or are you talking about your little buddies too? I am VERY sure that you'll be popular with kids in no matter which neighbourhood you move to.

hey Luci, E2S is right kids adapt, they adjust fast, and they'll take the move better than you. and lord BS had a great idea with the pen-pal thing. that would be cool for a youngin, to write about his new home his new life, and staying in contact with the old. now I wish I would have moved alot as a kid:( I want a pen-pal....:p

You people are making me feel better :)

Easy and Tony (let's just call Tony hotness), you are both right, i know my son will make new friends, hopefully closer to his age. and yes...i will miss my "kids."

You can always have the kids be pen pals. Of course you would have to do the writing. Kids get so excited when they get something in the mail.

You're a great Mama Luc. Enjoy being the kool aid mom until August. I know that I miss those days:)
