Please limit criticism. I may sound silly at times!
I had my eldest at 23. Hes 4 now just turned and he is everything I ever dreamed of , I love being a mummy but I chose not to think ahead to him getting older and this is just the start.
He was a mummys boy always eantef me only , did go to family etc but it was different with me, there wasn't a second of the day I felt lonely.
Hes growing up a little and idolise DH wants to be a "big boy" and now it's not just me favorited. Also I am part time so have both my kids alone dh works full time so I have more time with them and have to do the telling off when they hit etc. I feel like im boring mum and hes sick of me and DH is fun and good at play fights (DS loves pretending to 'wrestle' )
Its making me sad I feel just a bit lost as my youngest is 2 she is very outwardly loving , I know this stage will come for her too. Ds is but its more little things like cuddling up to me etc his speech has been / is delayed so he can say i love you but usually when we say it to him etc.
I know as he gets older he'll love me but he'll grow up. When he's a pre teen will be too. Cool for me etc
How do I embrace growing up? I lately keep getting pangs of sadness and wishing I could go back to our early days. Probably a mixture of him seeming to mature a bit and looking at schools as he starts this year but I can't sit and wallow and I find myself of an evening doing this and during work
