I know it's sounds awful.
Before I had children I pictured myself as a Mary poppins character , smiling serenely as children flocked naturally towards me, staring up at me with awed expressions and gently holding out a hand for me to clutch.
As it is I LOVE my children but gosh I find them relentless and hard, hard work. I know it's not their fault, they are good children but normal children so obviously everything is all about them.
The problem is they are so full on and demanding it just pushes anything else out. I can't have a conversation with a friend or DH or do anything really!
PLUS many friends have small children who do not treat me with starry expressions. Mostly they burst into tears if you smile at them
I'm glad I have had children but I wish I could cut out this 2-6ish period, I cannot cope!
