In the same fashion as birth de-briefing, this forum has been set-up with the same thing in mind - sharing your story with all the ups and downs on how you feel about parenting and the way you parent. Often when I am struggling with parenting or self-esteem issues (in relation to being a mother!), I will chat to my close friends and find out that they have been through the exact same thing, no matter how bad I think it might be and assume that I could be the only one feeling like a bad mummy in that situation! But it's amazing how alike we are as mothers.

We appreciate all your feedback as it does help to make our forums a much happier, relaxed place to chat! Your comments will be taken seriously and treated with confidentiality, so please feel free to contact us anytime!
Again I remind everyone that this isn't a discussion thread as much - it's for us to tell our stories, add to it, think back and de-brief about all things parenting. Having a bad day? Add to your de-brief for something a little more theraputic

We're not here to fix problems in this particular forum but offer a listening ear, support and relate where we can.
