Best thing: Watching my angels sleep peacefully at night.

Worst thing: Knowing that I am getting it wrong alot and not sure how to change things.

Best thing : the smiles on my DT's faces when I come in in the morning to pick them up-that unconditional love is incredible.

Worst thing : The worry when you're kids start to go out into the world on their own...so hard to dispel thoughts about them getting into diffs and needing you and you not being there.

Best thing: the absolute love you feel for them

Worst thing: NO MORE LIE-INS

Best thing: "I love you mummy, you're the bestest mummy in the whole world"

Worst thing: cleaning up vomit and changing the bedding for the 5th time, at about 4am, not forgetting the child who is covered in it, "wanting a hug"

Best thing: The squidgy cheerfulness of toddlerhood.

Worst thing: the faint wail in the middle of the night...."Muuuuuuuuuum......."

Favourite thing - The cuddles when the DDs' ome home from school and how glsd they are to see me.
Least favourite - all the housework and washing they so generously give me!

Best: making her giggle and watching her happily at play

Worst: No time off - even on holidays!

Best - the complete joy they've brought to my life, I'm welling up now.

worst - the mess!

Best thing: hearing 'I love you mummy' at the end of a trying day

Worst thing: The constant fear of something awful happening to the children and knowing I won't always be there to protect them.

Worst thing: them waking up just as you are about to fall asleep. (And the never-ending gut-wrenching all-consuming guilt and worry.)

Best thing: the sleepy cuddles in the dark as you get them back off to sleep again (and finally getting to have the never-ending gut-wrenching all-consuming guilt and worry.)

Best thing - when they are asleep and look all smalland angelic

Worst thing - when it is all my fault.

Best thing - loads of 'best things', but, my 5 week old DSs lovely big gummy grin is the tops!

Worst thing - all consuming guilt that you are 'not doing it right' and the 'are they ok' panic.

Worst thing - never just being 'you' again and having no time to just 'be'.

Best Thing - unashamedly huge big giant lovely snuggly squishy hugs just because.

Best thing - DD makes me laugh so much. More than anyone else in fact. And her laugh is so infectious so we set each other off all the time.

Worst thing - tantrums / whinging.

Favourite thing: Checking in on them on my way up to bed when they're fast asleep and looking peaceful, warm and angelic

Worst thing: Not being able to go the loo in peace!

Best thing: seeing my daughters' faces when I pick them up from nursery and school

Worst thing: the constant demands for drinks, food, attention etc etc

worst thing - not having a handbook to refer to when things don't go as expected
best thing - unconditional love

Cuddles are my favourite.

Nits are the bit I hate!

Best: Watching a lovely little personality develop

Worst: No me time anymore

Best thing - just being with them and doing things that make them happy.

Worst thing - worrying that I am doing it all wrong!

Best thing - seeing them enjoy themselves and laughing

Worst - no lie ins ever again and hard to be spontaneous!

Best thing: listening to DD laughing and happy, and confident with her friends and family

Worst thing: never having quite enough time to fit everything in we want to do

Best thing - watching them grow and develop and learn new things

Worst thing - watching them grow and develop and learn new things, and knowing they'll be off on their way one day

The worst thing is never having enough time EVER

The best thing is everything else :-)
