Unfair question. That's like asking which of your kids you love more, or if you love your kids more than your husband.
Love as a child toward parents versus love as a parent toward a child is a totally *different* kind of love, not a MORE or LESS thing. I love my kids with all my heart. And my husband. And my parents. I don't think there has to be a limit or a comparison.
Just like with each of my children coming along, I don't love each one more or less, just differently.
i love my parents for teaching me how to raise children. and i love my children for teaching me how to be a parent and in return appreciate all my parents did in raising me.
but, truthfully- it is possible that i may love my children just a little bit more- as they are who i am in the service of at this time in my life. and, doesn't the bible tell us to leave our mother and father and cleave unto our husband? so, it would seem that our children are an extension of that union and naturally would have an amazing pull on our love.
Definitely my kids and I wont start a therapy session right now to tell you why. Just believe me. It's my kids. Until of course they grown up and turn on me then maybe I'll go running back to my mom. For now, they're the world to me.
As YOUR mother..ahemmmm... you had better say your children! That's when we as parents know we have done a good job of raising our children. When we have children we learn that happiness doesn't come from others making US happy,it comes as we strive to make others happy by serving THEM. That's a cycle we pray will continue throughout the lives of our children and their posterity. Actually, it's a very easy question! Love you muches!!!!1
I'm surprised so many people think it's a tough question. It's VERY easy to say I love my kids more! And I hope my parents love me more than they love their parents too, you know what I mean??
Definitely my kid, not that I don't love my parents, but I think you have a lot more love for someone that depends on you for everything (although less and less as they grow). You love who you serve.

Love my kids more. My Mom would kick my butt if I didn't and I always do what my Mama says! LOL!
My parents, of course... since I don't have kids and all...hehehehe...

Don't ask me that! ;) Both for growing me up in different ways.
Well, I have to say I love my kids more. But that doesn't mean I love my parents any less!
Ohhh...good question. Love them both equally but differently. You know I would never give that a straight answer. haha.

I have to say I love my children more. I do. And it makes me sad to think that one day they'll answer this question the same way I just did.
I don't have children so that's an easy one!
My children, of course! They will choose my nursing home!
