These last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic to say the least, and with Spencer being away for 4 days last week and 4 days this week it has just added to the stress.
It's been a really hard week this week, which seemed to come to a head yesterday when I went to pick Phoebe and Elijah up from my in-laws after my first governors meeting. I can mostly deal with Phoebe's 'moments' but when even your mother-in-law say's she's been a nightmare it's hard to have patients with her. After going to bed and sobbing myself to sleep I woke up this morning determined to do better. I made a deal with Phoebe that if she didn't cry, I wouldn't have to shout. Well that lasted all of 5 minutes when she got down stairs and Faith was sitting where she wanted to sit. So she proceeded to throw herself on the floor and cry for the next 10 minutes. Needless to say she went to school with no breakfast, her shoes on the wrong feet (as she wouldn't let me help her) and her hair not brushed.
Why is it then that she is now at school having a great time with her friends and I am stuck at home feeling like the worst mother in the world?
Who ever said motherhood was easy, has not meet my beloved Phoebe.
Your Phoebe and my Ellie may well get along! I have been struggling the past week with my six year old. I have nothing to say to you other than, you're not alone!
