Right there with you. And a baby on top 😅

Oh darling, you write this with such feeling. Just remember you are doing an amazing job. You are everything you should be. Everything you were meant to be. You are exactly what those boys need.

Thank you for this :) I’m reminded of the time a friend confided that she had to take a 45 minute solo walk around the neighbourhood to decompress after her daughter had her one and only tantrum. She has two daughters the same ages as my two boys (and yours) and I just looked at her blankly as the contrast between our different motherhood experiences sunk in 🙃.

Once again you remind me that I am not alone with my feelings. Thank you for that.

I thought morherhood would come so easily to me, I could picture how I was going to be as a mum so clearly.

But here I am, and right now, everyday is a battle of survival. With a four year old who daily screams in my face and a baby who won't be put down for a minute.

Survival. Yes. That is definitely it.

Goodness this resonates with me today, earlier I said to my mum ‘I wish one of my kids was a bit more ‘bland’ 🤣🤣. I’ve lost count of the ‘wow he/she is a handful’ comments I’ve had from strangers. I love my 2 wonderful children with all my heart and I know their fearless, confident determination will benefit them greatly as they grow up. But my god it’s exhausting!! Xx
