Yeah see thats the thing Rory, sometimes no one wants to hear if your journey has been pretty good. Its like a competition amongst women, who can do it better lol They want people to say "Oh IM not coping, how about you" so they can fib and say "Oh fabulous" but secretly think Oh thankgod, her kids have xxx more tanties than mine, sleep xxxx amount of time less..........et al"

I often get people saying "Oh it isnt fair you make having 3 kids so close look easy" and "Oh can I have advice about xxxxxxxx cause your like a mothering guru, your kids are so good" blah blah blah. I remind them that they only see my kids 1/4 of the time, the rest of the time they are just a normally naughty and horrible as everyone else's. As for being wise, I can only give comment on whats worked for myself which is not what might work for everyone else. Like you Ive been veeeeeeery lucky to get pretty good babies/kids; so its been a tad bit easier to deal with the moments of chaos.

And thats what it all comes down too - LUCK lol
