Ash would die if she saw the artworks my kids have done over the years. Couches, walls, floors. But I never reacted by shoving my phone in their face and filming while shaming them into admitting who had done it. Seriously, there's bigger problems in the world than stressing over a bit of ink. And the ink in the handbag is on the lining where no one will see it anyway?
She needs to remove the stick from her
a and embrace the joy that young children bring. Yes, they're messy, they're loud, they don't listen... But they are the biggest blessing. They don't want a perfect show home or a Mum in designer clothes. They want a loving and engaged parent who enjoys being around them

They're at an age where they will be noticing these things now and actually remembering the way they are being treated.
