All the rights and wrongs of parenting advice can be just what you don't need sometimes. I think the most reassuring thing is to hear that other people make the same mistakes as me and have managed to survive! It gives me a good laugh and a lot of hope that it'll probably be OK. Anybody else feel the same? I've started collecting some stories together - funny, disastrous or frustrating. Anybody want to share some? You never know, they might make it to a book some day - the perfect chill-out after a day taming the little monsters.
