When I'm not at work I'm with my son & he's everything. My sisters want to take him for the day to let us relax but I'm most happy when we are together.

It's such a life changing event and you really aren't the same person anymore. That can take time to get used to. Once they're in school and need you a little less, it's easier to take up the reins of your life again and start to re-explore the things you used to enjoy before becoming a mummy.Linda Hobbishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439116848663732420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-61997889527953846312018-02-18T18:12:23.719+00:002018-02-18T18:12:23.719+00:00As !one are older now and all at school I want to ...As !one are older now and all at school I want to tell everyone I'm a Mum to 3!

People always look at meand see me as a mother of my son,they see us as a duo. But walking alone on the street, I was just a girl. Nobody would have guessed that I am somebody's mother. And something inside of me wanted to shout out: I am a mother!<br />This is themost awkward and unexplainable feeling everWhat Mum Loveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794894617438740068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-44112957592901653852018-02-16T20:43:14.692+00:002018-02-16T20:43:14.692+00:00It's so true and they have the most fun with t...It's so true and they have the most fun with their Dad - but I think it's my anxiety worries that make the idea of leaving them hard.

When I'm out shopping without him it feels weird not to have the pushchair and even when he's asleep in his own bed I feel weird lying in my own bed without him.A Cornish Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431314511956926866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-48805574706228032282018-02-16T08:57:36.426+00:002018-02-16T08:57:36.426+00:00I can definitely relate to this.
