As I was calming down, drinking a beer and cooking a meal, I overheard Kaya consult with her Daddy about a computer game she was playing, where she's a teen girl and she has to keep her well maintained. I heard Rene tell her,
"Your relationships are low, your hygiene is low and your learning is low. You need to get out and talk to people, have a bath and go to school"
I couldn't help but giggle to myself at the accuracy of the statement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and everyone hates me and I'm ruining my kids, and I'd be best to just ship them off and have a break. But today has been a better day and I'm loving having them near and watching them grow and learn. I guess I'm growing and learning along the way too.

So, what you're really saying is your kids are driving you to drink, eh?! :^))
Don't you love how often these gamers have the answer?? :)
I have all this to look forward to!
Glad you had a better day. To me, you're just a good mum. Everything you talk about and share here is about being a parent. About being who you are. And you know how much I struggle with that role in my life now. There are bad days. Without a doubt. It's how you deal with them and cope the following day or when you feel better that counts. I don't really know what else to say other than I think you're a lovely little mum and everything just sounds perfectly ok!
*hugs*
