Let me tell you a secret...I am a crier. I thought it might be hormonal...being pregnant and nursing for so many years...but I think it is just who I am. So, yes, world...I cry...a lot.
I cry at TV commercials, TV shows (any show), movies, books, speeches, reading blogs, almost every time I head home after spending time with my mom, brothers, or best friends, every time after vacation, every wedding I see, every time I hear certain songs, as I write blogs about crying.
I accept this about myself...and I wear waterproof mascara.

Here's a blog about life as a parent, spouse, and active (yet sleep-deprived) human being. I also write about topics related to early childhood education and fitness. You will also find parenting ideas and topics, recipes, media reviews, and community information about Central Illinois.

We're all crybabies in my family. I can't even look at another person crying for fear of tearing up. Though, I refer to myself as an "empathetic crier".
I know exactly what you mean.
Yet I can be totally unmoved by my children's tears (depends on the situation). Maybe because I automatically feel the need to be strong for them or whatever or I know they're crying to manipulate my feelings.
Hmmm...I don't think I would have guessed this about you. I am a crier too so it is making me wonder, is everyone a crier? Maybe some are just more open criers and some are closet criers?
Me too.
