Why is it......

[TheOriginalFAB]

....that when you clash with your child peole say it is because you are so alike? I would have thought you would get on better as you would understand each other.

....that my 10.5 year old son has turned into a stroppy, shouty, teary, rude child?

.....that when you try and keep your children save and don't let them do X they think you are mean and on one occasions sy "you are ruining my day" .

......that when I was a nanny it all came naturally and now I am a mum I am doubting every decision I make.

..... that I am more tired now than when I was breastfeeding several times a night?

Just told him I loved him, he said sorry, we had a lovely cuddle and then he told me MIL had had words with him after I had shouted at them but what he said she said makes no sense, unless she was underminding me again.

It is simple. It is because you are a mother.
MiLs are the work of the devil. Fact.
Enjoy your DS and the cuddles her gives you. DD looks at me as if I've grown another head if I ask her for one, although she does often come and sit on my lap.
Mass of contradictions. That's children.

Mass of contradictions. That is my new mantra.

Thanks .
