Does anyone else get moments when you feel you aren't getting this mother thing right?

[Pinkchampagne]

Or is it just me??!!

Do you also feel that the main word in your vocabulary every day is no??!! I think DS is trying to copy me now only it comes out as Doh.....

It's certainly not just you, Pc.

I blame the adverts: all these shiny haired women with big white teeth bouncing out of bed in the mornings in white linen pyjamas and throwing together a nutritious breakfast with a husky, smug little chuckle. PAH! Chuck 'em a bag of Cheesy Wotsits and let 'em get on with it.

I don't think I'm getting it wrong, but I'm certainly doing it a different way!

lol at unichef!

I was hoovering today as DS views dust bunnies as gourmet food (not that I have many I hasten to add - my rug just moults like mad!!Honest!) I was hoovering around him as he just wouldn't stay put and turned around to find him chewing the hoover wire in manner of the Gremlins in the film when they are screwing up the traffic lights! Cue me in mad panic and NO, don't do that etc...he left the wire alone and then proceeded to play with the on/off switch on hoover...its a miracle I got anything done!

I should put him in his play pen but its a dumping ground for toys

So glad to hear I'm not alone here!!

Your children look gorgeous btw, unchief!

Lol, I know that one, my youngest beast has the face of an angel!!

I manage 2 beasts & that is more than enough for me!!

My two are 7 & 4

Wow, you want another already?!!

I would like to tell you it gets better, but unfortunatly I am still waiting for that better stage!!

I want another one! DS is just one....DH says to wait until new year before TTC.....

Really? lol!!

No, will wait until New Year I think...that means DS will be around three - assuming I conceieve quickly like I did with DS...I want him to be able to understand why I can't give him a cuddle if feeding baby etc...

I have 3.5 years between my two

er, yes
think we all do, eh?
and the "i'm-a-rubbish-mum-hope-no-one-notices" moments increase with the number of kids..
sooo
with 3 los, i'm in the pretty crap stakes
and..
it's when you catch yourself bickering with them that you really know you've lost the plot
"Fine!"
"ALL RIGHT, then."
..."Because I SAID SO." (never thought i'd say that like wot my mum used to say. i do. a lot)

Unichef...as I type...I'm still wearing...

My maternity pants....

oh the shame!!!

Oh blimey, so do I!

YES, see above in active convos.

So do I say "because I said so" not wear maternity pants btw!!!
