I don’t want a compliant child but one with a bit of sparkle but when you tell your 9 year old she is being stubborn and she replies ” well, if it is down to my DNA or the way I am nurtured. You are to blame for both!”
Sad thing is I felt strangely proud.

When you look forward to family time and it doesn’t come off as planned. Onwards and upwards though, right?!

I’m going to try and remember this the next time we have a day like this.

I’ve just been reading an article about a kid with schizophrenia who regularly tries to kill herself and her family s from now on I’m determined to take my own kids’ flare ups in my stride.

Toddlers can be hard at the best of times, but it even harder to be patient when tired. We’ve been battling mini hangovers today :) Great fun with three kids bouncing around :-)
