I am not a mom, but a nineteen-year-old who can tell you that despite your kids growing older, start to slowly grow apart, becoming more independent and figuring out who they are, you won't get less important to them. It may seem like it since they learned to watch over themselves and can maneuver most situations without your help. But where they are now, where they stand, this is all thanks to you and they will never forget that. And you will always be their mother and they will love you just as much as they used to before.

When you mentioned that you watched their hair grow strand by strand...that got me. That hit the feelers real hard ♡

I raised four and in the early years dreaded the sound of “mommy” being screamed non stop. Even in stores, I was trained to turn my head to any call from a small child saying “mommy”. My pockets or bags always held tissues, new or used. I had snacks stashed in the car or pocketbooks just in case someone was having a meltdown. This changed to potty training, driving to sport activities, to boyfriends houses, off to school.....I didn’t have the empty nest syndrome when they began to leave, because , honestly, I had a few more still at home. I realized that I made all of my mistakes with trial and error on my first born, but got much better by number four. They all survived me and have gone on to good careers and move out of the house and into their own with their new family. My house has become quieter, which I love, and cleaner, which I love even more. Now the next part is my grandkids who are quickly filling up the void left when my gang moved out. It’s just a circle and I have found that any stage I am in at the moment seems to always be the best ( although being a grandma really is fabulous! ) .

I think it’s a common expression. I heard it on a local radio station years ago. When I heard it, I just thought that truer words were never spoken. When a child is upset or sick or won’t sleep, 24 hours seems like a lifetime. I look at my eldest and can remember every detail of carrying him in my arms. Where his head rested, how he weighed next to nothing, his new baby smell, I can hear all his types of crying from fussy to hungry to in pain, and then realize that he’ll be 17 in two months.

Ieasha Woods toddlers are the best:) curious little creatures that sometimes test you to your very core. Then you watch them sleep and your heart just explodes. Every stage is precious, it’s all learning and changing and accepting you are going to make mistakes. But one day as tough as the toddler stage is you will miss it. You’ll miss everything about it, especially knowing it’s never coming back... but then you look at your amazing child and how they grew into this amazing person and your heart explodes... just like when you used to watch them sleep. My children are now 19 and 21... it really is true, it goes by in a blink if the eye.... but I remember those long toddler days. They can be challenging but just remember you might be one temper tantrum away from ever having another one, one bed time story away from the last.. one potty accident from never buying diapers or pull ups again... there will be lots of lasts... but still many first. Enjoy the ride:)

I don’t even have children, and yet I clung to every word you just spoke. Your openness and honesty is so heartwarming and refreshing. You’re a beautiful speaker.

The success of a good parent is when your kids can go off and be a successful adults with good morals, values, and relationships. You’re always going to be needed and wanted no matter what. You’re always going to be mom. That relationship however will change and evolve in many ways. Who you are to them shouldn’t.

I'm a 23-year-old single woman and yet, I'm crying and relating to this. I felt like a mom for a moment, then suddenly, I'm imagining my future emotions if and when I become a mom and I'm in that position. How'd you do that Mayim? You're so amazing.

I would mention that I am not sure that the whole TV thing made much of a difference. My eldest turned from a little girl who saw the world through my eyes into a teenager who basically wants me away from her and her friends because she is building a world of her own, in like six months. I knew it was coming, and I know that it is good because it means she is growing properly, but boy it is hard. I thought that it would be gradual and it was definitely not. Anyway, what I meant is that this development would probably have blindsided her even staying at home.

You apparently did a great job producing self sufficient young men and should be proud of that significant accomplishment. You care a great deal about things. That is plainly apparent.

This touched me deeply. While I was with my son all the way until now when he turns 12, I experience that shift, too. I was a stay-at-home mom, too. I had the same high demands towards myself and was an equally close mother to my son, and now I experience that he foesn‘t need me as much. He still does need me, but in a different way. And inside I celebrate each voluntarily given hug and „I love you mom“. Those things are getting rarer and more precious.

I’m bawling my eyes out as my 14 month old sleeps in his crib! This was the craziest glimpse into my future and I can’t believe how much I don’t want my baby to grow up lol

One very important aspect I saw in your video was the real love you have for your children. Hold onto the hugs as long and as often as you can and build precious memories that can sustain you when they are grown and leave home. "LAK - Life After Kids" is great too, but I would gladly trade it all for a good hug from my boys at nighttime. p.s. I enjoyed and appreciated the joy you gave me as "Amy".

Melissa H it makes me so happy when I see or hear of a child who is setting boundaries, because it’s a sign of a healthy home. A child that will just accept to have their hair ruffled etc that’s a child I worry about because all humans if it’s a healthy home will get to the point where they ask the person to stop to ruffle their hair. I love to hear that her children are comfortable telling her ”no” when she asks them if they wish to play board-games. A safe child is aware of their right to set boundaries in big and small ways.💛

You are such an honest person Mayim. Thank you for this extremely moving video..so relatable. It's so relaxing and at the same time so heart-breaking to see our babies not needing us anymore. Love from France

I burst into tears when you described the difference in the bed time ritual. My daughter is 15 and still climbs into bed with me a couple nights a week. We play with the dog and sometimes we watch funny animal videos and giggle together. It’s very difficult to let go of my only baby but at the same time it’s wonderful to see her bloom into a lovely young woman. She doesn’t need Mommy so much anymore, but she does need Mom. She still initiates hugs and pre-bedtime giggle sessions...it’s good.

That was so relatable. I cannot express how much I needed to hear that. I’m a mom to an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I will put more effort into just being, as best I can. Thank you for the real talk! 🌼

Current stay at home mom to 3 toddler boys.... Thank you for helping me be greatful for the now!

I feel exactly the same as a single and sometimes overwhelmed working mom of a 3 year old... Sometimes I just want him to learn to do everything by himself really fast, just so things will be easier for me. But I know I'll really miss those days when he's older.

These are the best days of your life, I promise. When things get rough with the littles, remember that and be thankful. The quiet of pre-teens and teens taking care of themselves is depressing. 🤣

Omg. I was nodding my head like crazy when you were talking! I can relate so much! While my son is a few years older than yours (he's 19), I had/have all the same feelings you expressed. I remember when my son needed me ALL THE TIME. He never liked me out of his line of sight. Hugs and cuddles came freely w/o eye rolls and sighs. Soon he'll be out on his own and living his life. When I look at him, I can't help but to be proud of the man he's become/becoming. You still have many years before this happens, so enjoy every moment.

This video literally made me cry ugly tears. There is nothing more beautiful then the family we create ❤️ We want a break so badly until we have it and then we yearn for their softness and their need for us.

This made me cryy 😭😭😭 ive been a stay at home mom for 10 months now and i have a 2.5 yo and a 4 mo ... today was a rough day, baby did not sleep and wanted to be held... my life is how u described yours WAS before and i could see in your eyes how much you miss that... i needed to see this today so i can cherish even more the special time i have w them 😍😍thank you for sharing this!

I needed this video today ❤ I have a 2.5yr old son and am pregnant with my second son, we had a tough day, but one day I know I will miss this.

Oh how you will miss this.

You are STILL the most important person in their lives! Thanks for sharing!

Gosh, that is parent 101 right there! Very honest and moving, thank you.

Welp! That made me cry. I’m so grateful that I’m able to stay home with my baby and witness all of these amazing moments, but WOW did that make me sad thinking about her not needing me as much.

I don't have any kids, yet this still made me cry. God bless you, Mayim. You are an amazing mama :)

I don't have any children as of yet, but I watch your videos in the hopes that I can take what wonderful advice you have and apply it to my future kids. You are so honest and kind. I imagine that has had such an amazing impact on your children. Thank you for the guidance. You're awesome!

I love you channel. I felt just like that after working full time as a nurse through my kids baby years and now my oldest son is 7 and youngest son is 3 and it’s the first time I’ve been able to stay home with them. This sinking feeling comes up sometimes of missing those special times as babies and toddlers. I really love you channel. I seem to always learn something new or just genuinely relate to your videos.

I love this. Thank you for putting words to the weird time we are currently in raising our kiddos... (my two sons are just a couple of years older than Mayim’s, so her stories are so relatable and timely for me.)

Your amazing, your a mom, an actor, a scientist and a brave person. So thank you for being Amy and Mayim

I can totally understand & appreciate what you said. This is exactly how I felt when my child went to college & you have to appreciate those moments that you had with them & realize all the amazing things you do for them is carried with them! I really enjoy watching your videos!

This brought a real tear to my eye (and down my cheeks if I’m honest!). As a 28 year old married woman, I can still remember the way it felt when my mum would lie behind me when I was a little girl and I’d had a nightmare or couldn’t sleep. I think about it more often now, since she passed away. I don’t doubt that even though you may not be the centre of their worlds anymore, your love will be at the centre of them forever, because that love and security you give them is such a blessing, and they will feel the effects throughout life 💖 I hope my husband and I will be lucky enough to be able to go through these defining experiences ourselves one day, and have our own children to adore. I very much enjoy your videos, even if I may not agree always on more divisive topics or have similar experiences, it’s lovely to hear somebody express their point of view so eloquently and not at all judgementally 😊 all the best x

I am not a parent but i LOVE hearing your thoughts on parenthood. You trust us with who you really are and that is extremely touching. Thank you for sharing!

Your shorter hair looks FANTASTIC! ( Enjoy your MOM time!!!!)

Almost in tears. You are speaking what I have been feeling for the longest time. I am trying to find my way through this unknown. So grateful I am no alone in this nor have a I been. Thanks!

This made me cry! I identify with her so much. I wish being a mum wasn't taken for granted and overlooked as it now is. It's all I want to do but can't.

your hair looks amazing! this was such a sweet and tender video, it makes me appreciate everything my mom does and has done for me even more. thank you :)

As a mom of a toddler with long days - I loved this

I cried through this whole thing 😂. My kids are 3 and 1 and a crazy draining level of clingy and insane. Everyday is so hard and I long for the day they are more independent, but I know I will miss them needing me for everything. So bitter sweet.

Just watched the last episode and absolutely cried my eyes out, snot and everything. Thank you, for TBBT and for your videos xx

Have you written a book? Id read that👋😍 Edit: i realize you have written a few books. I meant on your life as a mom your feelings on things not a guide. A heart to heart.

Just finding this video and it brought me to tears. My relationship with my 12 yr old old son is so different than what it used to be when he was tiny. But change is beautiful and you worded it so perfectly. Sending you a belated thank you for making this touching video

Loved every minute of your post. Even when I had to start crying! I'm 61 and love every minute I get to spend with my grown up 3 kids. And believe me, even 35 year olds still need their mom :) He doesn't cry out for me of course but still calls every day and loves to just talk... and I listen.. Just treasure every single day, it is such a wonderful journey!

I love your hair. Your a gorgeous lady. 😊 And a great mom!

Love your haircut. You look great and happy! Wow totally relate, w/big kids vs the need that the little ones have.

I totally relate!! My son is 31, as I watch him interact with his kids (3yrs, 5yrs, 6 and 8), I am thrilled. I remember what it was like. Now when we say goodbye after a visit, he hugs me and calls me Mommy! My heart is. beyond happy, have to fight back the tears! They grow up way too fast.

Made me cry.I am a mom of an almost five year old girl.And I miss all those moments that we had.Every day I miss our yesterday and I always feel guilty for not spending enough time with her.

Let's just casually mention therapy to normalize mental health care. 👏👏👏

Yup, loved that quick drop, mental health is as important as bodily health but we don’t treat it or fund it like that.

I felt your pain. My "babies" are your age, but you reminded me how that never goes away.I cried.🥺

I have a 5 and 7 year old and listening to you talk about the shift in your role as a mom just made me cry a little. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Thank you. It’s indeed so important to cherish the hard moment and just remember it goes away so quickly

I’m not even a mom and you made me tear up🥺 I love you Mayim 😁 Shalom 🤗

Off topic but I love your hair like this 😍💟

Thank you so much for this video. I have found myself struggling with this very same transition of motherhood. I felt I was in this battle with time and things that are changing alone. I really needed this video today. Thank you so much.

OMG! this is the most beautiful, tender, and lovely thing I have seen in a very long time!! :') I almost cried when you were describing the nights with them then and now.

Only watching you I understand that actors are just People. Thank you for your videos and sharing your personality

The absolutely most deeply felt video I have watched. I felt it to my soul as a mother of boys growing quickly out of young childhood.

Ah this is why I find parenting so hard. I think I always want them to be little and need me but at the same time I need to be an individual again. I have two children (nearly 2 and 4 1/2) and am caught between wanting a third and not feeling equipped to go through it all again! I love your videos, thank you xx

I am 55 and I am doing those things again, with my grandchildren. It is wonderful to live those things again, to look down at my granddaughter’s trusting gaze as her eyes slowly close, and the grip on my finger loosens and falls. To feel that amazing love just overflow.

I don't blame this woman she's earned every dollar she has she's very smart she must have an amazing life

Being a stay at home mom is nothing to be ashamed of or forgiven. A child should be taken care of by their parents, not some paid caretaker if possible.

She was getting all emotional!

What an incredibly well spoken account of motherhood and all the emotions that go with it. I am a stay at home mum to an 18 month old and this has come st just the right time for me. Battling with the guilt of not 'working' and worrying I'm not doing things right for my daughter. These are tender, precious times and thank you for reminding me of this.

🥺 my little guy is 9 months and I am nursing as I watch this and cry. Thank you for the things you put out and being real about it.

This was such a special message! I love the passion you have for your children! I love your personality! Your so down to earth and so smart. I really enjoying listening to you.❤
