Or so it would appear - its been a while since I have been on, so be gentle!
My son is going through a rather, shall we say difficult stage - its lasted approx...2 years now, and it doesn't look to be getting any better at the moment!!
I am at the end of my tether by about 6pm on most days - this, if you read my last post, will seem odd as I am away from him for so long - but I fear this is half the problem....!
Bless him, we try our best, but our personalities clash at the best of times - I predict interesting teen years!!
Things have changed a little, my other half is working shifts these days, so the children are getting less time away from the 'normal' family thang - in that they only go to our parents for childcare about 4 hours a day, instead of 8 - which can only be a good thing really :o) So bravo on that one!!
We have just ordered my youngest a toddler bed, as, although she isn't showing signs of escape from her cot yet (result she is almost 2!!) I do think she would benefit from learning to sleep in a little bed now......a sad day though when you say good bye to the baby things. I said goodbye to the pram, and the high chair, auf weidersen to the baby clothes and baby toys, adieu to the baby bouncer...and now the cot will be on its way...sob.
Can't believe that its over already, the baby years.
But, can't say I will be sad to say goodbye when the time comes for not spending a fortune on nappies, and I wasn't at all upset when the children began to regularly sleep through the night ;o)
There are positives to all!!
Another thing to note, is today I have been with my rather lovely bloke for 12 years.
We met when I was 14, got together a few months before I was 19, moved in together when I was 20, brought our first home when I was 21, and our 2nd home when I was 26, (when I say 2nd home - I do of course mean sold the first one to buy the second...we are not that well off lol!!!) Now I am approaching 31, we have 2 beautiful children, and it would appear life is pretty good and completely on track!!
Should be mortgage free at 50 - so game on!! lol
Everyone should timeline themselves - its a great way of looking over what you have achieved - in quite frankly a short space of time, lets be honest, 12 years is not a life time - we still have plenty to achieve out there ahead of us - I can't wait!!
