    Some days are hard

    That's all.

    Some days are hard. Sometimes because DS is acting up. Sometimes because I'm tired and grumpy, making everything else seem harder than usual. Sometimes because DD is teething (or something) and grizzles away most of her day. Sometimes because I spend every minute of the day feeling like an inadequate parent. Sometimes all of the above.

    No need to reply. Just in a bit of a parenting funk atm.

    Oh Sterla

    We all have days like that hun, and you are by no means an inadeqaute mum! Raising kids is hard work, and takes a lot out of you. You are doing the best you know how, and that's all anyone can ask.

    Wish I was there to give you a cuddle irl

    I hear you. Some days are hard. The good thing is, they end. Eventually. And then there is another day, full of possibility.

    Thank you everyone for all your lovely replies yesterday. Today was a much, much better day. I managed to clean the house this afternoon while DD slept and DS watched a movie - it is amazing how much better I feel with a tidy house. Thanks for letting me vent when I needed it .
