for the old guys.... this time last year
Recently I've been thinking alot about this time last year lol. This time
last year I think I can safely say that the parenting assessment was nearly over or over and we were preparing for Joanna coming home. It maks me laugh because this time last year I thought after everything i'd gone through I would be the perfect mum and would never get stressed out with Joanna and she would be the perfect daughter always happy and never throwing a tantrum. Well how further from the truth was I! I firmly believe i'm a relatevly good mum and I love my daughter to bits but I have many days where I get stressed out with her and there have been times where I've just wanted to hide her away somewhere so I can have some peace. Like this week for instance she's been really poorly with an ear infection and I feel for her I really do but gee she's grouchy and will not let me out of her sight and housework well I can forget about that while shes awake cause she just screams and I end up wanting to pull my hair out. I love her to bits and wouldnt be without her but kids cause quite a bit of stress LOL. april -- www.freewebs.com/lastchancerabbitrescue |

That was pretty naieve, wasn't it? At the same time, a lot of women who experience infertility and miscarriages feel that way too, when they finally do get to bring their baby home. And then they crash head first into reality as well, which is that we are all normal. Sometimes being a mom rocks, and is great, and meaningful and oh so rewarding, and other times, well, it can suck, and be thankless, and completely unfun. Hopefully the first times outweight the second times. : ) Well how further from the truth was I!

Just because you had to work so hard to get your daughter back, doesn't mean that you aren't entitled to have a crappy day, or just wish for some peace and quiet, or be annoyed, or whatever. We all go through it, and we're all allowed to complain a bit about it.

Hopefully the first times outweight the second times. : ) yes it was naive but at the time I suppose I just didnt really think it through but oh well i'm back in reality now. I understand what you're saying about parents who can't have children cause many a time i've been in a chat room ranting about joannas little wind me up behaviors and other parents have been ranting about their monsters and we get told off by parents who cant have kids and they're like oh well we wish we could have the tantrums and I think to myself yes but if you were in the same situation you'd probably be doing the same. I do however feel for them because it's not all tantrusm and tears but sometimes you just need to rant. I ended up having to phone my hubby up today cause i was just loosing it with joanna and i ended up in tears as I was so frustrated but again thats parenting for you. At the moment i'm going through the suck it time but I know that won't last and yes some of it is joanna not being 100% well but some of it is also her age.

I know when I've had a bad day I'll lie in bed and think how bad I've been and think from now on I'm never going to get cross/frustrated again.... then we wake up the next morning. I'm sure you're a great mum and hoping another little one comes soon. Debbie |
