It downed on me today that my life is quite good at the moment.
Kids are teens now and pretty independent, I can leave the house on my own, don't have to worry about childcare, they take themselves to school and back. They would be horrified if they walked in the toilet and I am in there and prepare own breakfast in the morning. Of course they have different needs but I am not tied up to having to do continuously things for them or make sure they are dropped off or picked up (apart of course when they need a lift). It is much easier logistically...
I know that I am lucky as my kids are well enough to be indipendent, but I wanted to say to the majority of people that I see thresds on here shattered by the planning, time and money that goes into childcare in general (especially if you work), of course referring to parents of healthy children ... things do get better at a certain point.
So AIBU to say I feel happy and contented today that those years of having young kids have gone? Will I be accused of boasting or will people say I am hertless because you should enjoy those years as they are little for a short time?
Or can you take this as a message of encouragement if you are still struggling with tiny bundles of joy, THERE IS a light at the end of the tunnel!
Hugs to all...
