So interesting Kit.

I guess my story is a little different again. I have four kids and my eldest is almost 8. If I'd only had two I would have both at school and more me time.

I think I have given up 100% of me. Well that is the me before kids. I am so totally different now. So me is mum. And I will always be mum as me! I dedicate my life to my kids. I think about their needs before mine. I weigh up everything I do with them in mind. My husband is the same. We aren't me anymore. We are a family. Where we live, what jobs we do, what we eat, where we go... I can't think of one thing I do without consideration of my kids. Even if I am going out on my own for me time. I still have to consider if it works for the family and who will look after the kids, before, I get to the me bit

I do get fatigued as mum some days but after almost 9 yrs of continuous pregnancy or breast feeding I think that's fair would I change things, no way!!!

I am raising independent, individual, strong people. Who will be confident and happy. But will have an amazing sense of family and priorities!

If being manipulated means my kids know I will be there, I will meet their needs then so be it!


My kids have only ever been cared for my family. I don't believe in child care.

I am doing the most important job in the world, I am doing a damn good job! And by golly I am proud of it!
