Mine seem to be. Very loving and cuddly. All the time. Even when we've had a row. They are always saying nice things to me - last night DS#1 was making avatars on his X-box for all of us and when he was making mine I kept telling him to make mine fatter to be like me (joke) and both DS#1 and DD were aghast - 'but mummy you are *thin"! . And they ask how my day went and are always wanting me to do sit down and rest.
Now all that is lovely and I soak up all the cuddles and love that is available of course But I do wonder if it's normal for them to be so loving and concerned for me. Surely a 13yr old boy and a 10yr old boy should be more self-centred than that? Isn't that more usual?
I have suffered from depression and at one point I told them. I reckoned it was better to let them know that I had been 'ill' and was getting better so that they knew things were under control and that there was some rational reason for mummy being such a mad explosive horrible human being for a while. Now I am thinking they are worried about me and that if they aren't nice I might revert. Is that likely?
