Hi,
Warning - this e-mail might win me a parenting "hall of shame" award!
There's a whole lot about parenting that, if we were truthful with ourselves, we really don't like. But we get on and do it anyway - because we know our children need it, because we know it makes them happy, because we are the grown-ups. Even sometimes because the government tells us. Do not tell anyone this.....but school reading bores me sensless. I think I would rather saw my arm off some weeks than listen to 28 preps read their readers. Soccer practise - it is freezing, messy, boring and repetitive.
Overall, I did love breastfeeding - but not everytime. Sometimes I just though "oh, for goodness sake - not again" You are certainly not alone in not loving it.
I heard a very fabulous quote the other day that made a huge impact on me. Some-one said "Happiness is not doing what you want - it's learning to like what you have to do"
I'm working on loving school reading....
And you are all sworn to secrecy.
Regards
Barb
