 Posted: 09/22/05 - 13:29 Post subject: Love for children
Is it possible to be in love with your child? I don't mean a romantic love but I do mean the intensity that accompanies romantic love... a mixture of joy, pride, hope, well-being, comfort, and caring both for your child and from him/her. Maybe there is a better phrase for it but heck, I'm undeniably in love with my kids.

I think being 'in love' and 'loving' someone are not mutually exclusive.

They are if you've ever listened to any of my ex's. 
I love you, but I'm not in love with you.
