the agony being not that of an alcohol induced hangover and flash backs of your bestie holding your hair back. No, those days are passed. Instead, you are treated to flash backs of your desperate for the toilet but half asleep child’s antics from the night before; questioning did I dream having to hold their boy bits in the direction of the toilet?!
I’ve always believed it to be really important that our kids know we aren’t perfect; that grown ups make mistakes and that we apologise when we are in the wrong, just because we are bigger doesn’t make it right.
And whilst I may frequently feel overwhelmed at what the world chooses to throw my way. Whilst I may feel anything but calm when they choose to bicker with each other. Whilst I doubt myself daily and question whether I’m enough to hold all these jigsaw pieces together and be everything my family needs me to be.
Children are human and if we want them to be healthy, happy and confident individuals then we need to remember they are just as entitled to off days as we are as adults.
