Big hugs for you BB, you have to trust in yourself that you are doing your absolute best

You have received some excellent advice so i'm not about to repeat it all but i just wanted to say that after my tough days i sit down when things are finally quiet and think about it, why it may have been like it was and what i could do to change it.

Most of the time if i am a little extra stressed then the kids pick up on it and make things so much harder. So i find i need to keep calm even when i'm stressed or in a rush and they kids can be their usual calm selves.

One example that i've seen happen time and again for me is if i am rushing around and raising my voise at the kids to hurry up and put their shoes on, get in the car, sit in your seat, do this to that, they will deliberately make things longer and harder.

So i have learnt that my moods have a lot to do with how the kids behave. With what i imagine you're dealing with right now (I was there not too long ago ) things can get pretty hectic and all i can say is if you can contol how you feel (or what the kids sense you are feeling) the kids will hopefully take it a little easier on you. I am not saying you're to blame at all so please don't take it like that i'm just saying that this can be where the rebellion begins sometimes.

Learning to be a mum of 1, 2, 3 and more is a big thing each time and as well as the kids settling in you are too. So take it easy on yourselves.

One thing i make a point of doing is often at random times of the day is calling the kids to me and giving them big hugs and kisses and telling them i love them. Even when i've been a grumpy mum that day, or they've been a little cheeky and they know it. So no matter what they know i love them.f

Good luck to you and your DH with your little ladies
