I am having spells like this at the mo of feeling like i'm more of a big sister & not actually teaching DS anything very useful, and often question if I have any maternal instincts towards him - althou if anything happened i'd be devastated, I do have the instinct to want to protect him from the world n squidge him till he pops! (mostly when he's being norty thou lol)
not sure if it's cos I spend a lot of time with my family who all (mostly my dad and nans partner tbh) tell DS off as well if he doesn't something wrong - which I don't mind tbh too much esp if i'm not there, and also as i'm on my own sometimes DS needs a male voice to be firmer than mine.
either that or I jsut can't accept i'm 26 and have a 2.8 year old instead of an 18 year old I think I am in my head!

Do you ever have spells where you feel more like a big sister/friend than a mum?
