tara. adjusting from going from a one child family to a two child family takes a little time. don't be too hard on yourself hun, its only been a few days! Laura was 2y8m when nathan was born, and she was lovely with him,. but bloody horrible to me. and I took it personally too! like christy and blanche suggested, special books, or tv shows. I managed to get the knack of feeding nathan, and reading laura a story. sometimes she would sit down and breast feed her baby doll. very cute. As blanche said it does get better - its just an adjustment time for all of you. be kind to yourself hun.

I went and caught up with my friends yesterday, and had a lovely cuddle with their precious daughter. Mummy is not having fun at all, understandably. Its hard enough adjusting to becoming a mum, let alone throwing serious health issues into the mix. It was so lovely to see them, and just sit. especially after the on going dramas of my sister, and her complete and utter f@ck ups.... sigh. i'm so over it, i'm not even bothering going into it other then to say, that we are now on the rage part of the cycle that is her life, which will be followed by something major happening, then slide into depression.... sigh. I know that she has major mental health issues, but it is how her kids are affected that upsets me so much.
