   I think having children is something we go into lightly and think its easy, its not until you have got children that you realise just how hard it is, and then its too late, Its like taking on a job then realising its too difficult and stressful, the only difference is you cant change your mind or leave this job, your stuck for at least 18 years and its scary. I think more people should actually think about that before they have children. Ive been a mum since I was 16 and although its not all bad and I love my kids, I long for some time to myself, I have a teenager, a toddler and one in between and I get zero time for me, My whole life is consumed by them, from early morning to late at night, as my toddler still wakes up several times at night, I have a partner but Its me that does everything for the children, and for him, and look after the house, I just feel ready to explode, or run away... I never would because I love my kids but thats how I feel most of the time. Anyway now Ive got that off my chest, I have to go now.. duty calls!

   When children are small they make your arms ache. When the get bigger they make your heart ache.

   J from london. Every mum must feel desperate at some time if they're honest and I find that kids go through stages when they're horrid and you just seem to get over that phase and congratulate yourself when they start with a new horrid phase! It doesn't come naturally to everyone and it is really hard work but so worthit. It's one of those things when the more you put in the more you get out. Make sure that they go to bed at reasonable times so you can have time to relax and paint your nails or something. When they give you a hug or do something that you've encouraged them to learn it makes it all seem so worthwhile. Keep at it only about 20yrs left lol

   I am so stressed all the time, I have 3 kids and I cant wait til they are grown up, am I the only one who feels like this? Being a mum is the hardest job in the world. No days off, no annual leave, no calling in sick, no break, no me time, just 24/7 stress and hard work, I wanna come back as a man in my next life.
