Hi Anna

Great topic - like you one of the reasons I love BB!

Personally, I tend not to be open about my experience of motherhood because it has been nothing but a huggies commercial for me. Like all of us I have had days where I have yelled at my boys, burnt them or bumped their heads accidentally, given them lollies to keep them quiet, felt guilty about this or that or generally been too tired to respond to their cries sometimes, but on the whole it has been absolutely marvellous for me. I didn't suffer from PND, found breastfeeding to be like falling off a log, had great briths and pregnancies with both, have a supportive husband who is home full time with them while I maintain a successful and interesting career and my mother is a great help as well (plus it helps that both boys were robust and healthy and never suffered from colic). I honestly feel like I have cheated I have it that good. I know it sounds like I am being arrogant but I actually think I am extreeeeemely lucky and so that's why I don't really talk about my experiences much. Just a different angle
