Today I have meet a young mum, with a 3 year old daughter and 6 month old twins (never referred to as the twins, but as the boys!) who attends 3 stay and play groups a week and baby clinic every fortnight.....on her OWN!! Has no family or friends and is extremely isolated, husbands works away mon- wed.
At no point did she whinge about how tired she was, say that she needed help and during the whole meeting the 3 children were sat up with the girl reading to her brothers.
She has been offered support, as she feels the home is chaotic and she can’t keep on top of stuff (haven’t we all been there?).
All I could think was “Bragger” if only she saw the other side, how unbelievably blessed she is and the need to rub it in peoples faces? Rather than thinking she is the only one who has had twins!!! Then I come home and see her story and is has raged me.....just go quietly to the bloody group! Stop asking people, go and stimulate YOUR boys, on your own, like any good mother would. And stop broadcasting their every move to the world, they have no choice, one day of privacy isn’t enough!!!
Sorry....rant over
