Super Mum

Inspired by and written for my lovely friend Hannah.  Both my kids were at school and you were juggling your 2, don't worry it does get easier! 💜

Super Mum is a super hero without realising she is.

Super Mum is the mother who wakes up and decides it's a good idea to attempt to take both her kids to the soft play centre for a treat.  However things don't go according to plan, she never gets that latte she's been dreaming of whilst the kids play.  In reality she ends up somehow holding both children at the same time, one screaming because he wants to get down and the other screaming because she hurt herself and is refusing to get down! 

Super Mum is the mother who finally cracks and screams at the kids because they've repeatedly ignored her shouts of 'NO' for the last hour.  She then has to shut herself in the bathroom for a secret cry because she's ashamed of the way she screamed at the kids, and is also worried that the neighbours may report her to social services!

Super Mum is the mother who when she finally attempts to fall asleep at night, can be woken by a child simply breathing in a room at the far end of the hall way and where 2 doors are closed in between!

Super Mum is the mother who wants everyone to think her kids eat lovely lush fresh healthy fruit and vegetables for every meal, when in reality in an effort to get them to actually eat something (anything) it's inevitably chicken nuggets or fish fingers again!

Super Mum is the mother who considers becoming tee total every evening, and then the kids drive her to drink yet again!

Super Mum is the mother who single handedly cooks dinner whilst listening to one child do her statutory 30 minutes of reading per day for school, removing various sponges,  cloths, washing up liquid from the other child's clutches, trying to pour a glass of wine, load the washing machine and find the new bottle of ketchup all at once!

To all us Super Mum's, as one of my son's nursery teachers told me once, you should never feel like a bad mother, it doesn't matter how other people choose to do things, you do what's right for you and your family. Don't worry, we're all doing great!

Now as i sit watching them both run riot 45 minutes before bed time I'll multi task yet again and juggle my glass of wine and my cup of tea at the same time !

Have a good evening everyone. Xx
