Me

Posted on by

I’m feeling a little blue today. Tiredness does that to me and I find it hard to be patient with the girls and not feel overwhelmed all the time. When Amy cries I get all tense and worry that I’m not being a good mum. Everyone thinks it must be easy to have the 4th – that I must know everything and be cool calm and collected. But it is the hardest thing ever, not only having a newborn but having the other 3 to contend with as well. I have tears running down my face right now and I don’t know why. Thank goodness it is the weekend and I’ll have some help. Maybe I can relax then.

I’m thinking about hiring a nanny – is that admiting defeat?

  3. I am sure your doing a wonderful job Fran. Being tired never helps. I get overtired with only having one child. I hope you do get some relaxation over the week end. I wish I could do something to hlep you, but being in Sydney is a bit too far away.

    Hang in there, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care xxoo

  4. Come Now….you are doing a great job….

    But hell woman – get the nanny!! And a cleaner.

    We now have a cleaner, and life is brighter!!!

    it will be christmas soon and I will be home – that HAS to perk you up!!!

  5. I know a great 34 year old English Nanny. Qulaified. Many many years of experience – all age groups – new born twins – 12year olds. Holds 1st aid certificate. Sure Start approve. Always would consider a new job opportunity. Guess the downside is it’s not very local! If I could just pop over to help I would! Sorry I can’t. Xx

  6. Its not admitting defeat, its calling for back up from the reserves bench – its just smart.

    Who says you have to do it all on your own?
    No one with with four children I am sure.

    What is the point of Cleaners and Nanny’s if not to use them????

    You ARE a good Mum and you cant be in 4 places at the same time.
