To be just proud of your children

[Bluebell121]

Hi I'm 23 2 children 1&2 2 year old turning 3 next month , sometimes I get really stressed as they fight a lot and my eldest cries over anything her brother ( youngest) only needs to look at her and she will go mental scream cry etc , but I'm very proud of them I'm laid in bed thinking how I did it some days are super hard I have anxiety and depression but when I come to bed and see my kids sleeping peacefully after been in there bedtime routine at 7pm is the highlight of my night I think I'm the proudest person in the world of my children! Really pointless post I'm sorry!

No, not pointless just lovely to read! I've had a moment over this weekend when I've looked at my two and thought, god I'm just so proud you're mine. We put ourselves under so much pressure to 'get it right', I know I give myself such a hard time but sometimes you just realise that you're doing a whole lot 'right'.

I feel this too. I quite often stop and marvel at how clever my DTs are, (they’re 2) and how this time last year one wasn’t even walking now he’s running around and up to all sorts. He can’t talk yet but sure can make it known what he wants. My dd is so inquisitive and full of attitude, (although it can be a nightmare to parent!) I hope she never loses it. That girl is one tough cookie who’ll never take any shit from anyone.

They’re perfectly normal kids, just geniuses and brilliant to me. I’m going to peek at them sleeping and thank my lucky stars they’re my babies now (and commando roll out the door if they stir!).

Nothing wrong with that. Be proud of yourself too. You're doing a great job
