Like hell those boys haven’t had a cuddle with Fopps mum! My parents are desperate for me to take my little one to see them but he was 2 in march and hugs the phone when we FaceTime them. He is now back at nursery (I’m a full time mum and a full time employee fopps!) so I had to make that call (difficult one it was!) to send him back so I could work. But I’ve told my parents there is even less of a chance I’m bringing him round now as he is mixing with a bigger bubble and I can’t risk their health! (And neither of those have had heart surgery in the last 6 months or over 70)
I don’t think I have held hate for someone as much as I do her! And I don’t know her! When she was pregnant I was really pleased for her as it seemed like it was something she wanted for ages. I make no secret of the fact my little one was a mistake, he wasn’t planned. I love him to bits and I know I’m not a natural mum but I try and he has actually made me more relaxed about things, I let him lead in what we do, most of his food he picks what he wants, has lunch when he is hungry, has a slight routine (i.e in bed by 8pm - but not every night). I was going to try potty training during lock down as he follows me to the toilet and tells me what I’ve done and also tells me when he has done a poo. But tried it and he screamed the house down... my conclusion you aren’t ready we will try another time!
As loads before have said if she just put her hands up and said ‘ you know what this is nothing like i hoped and planned’ I’d have a lot more respect for her.
I hated maternity leave, I hated the sudden feel of losing being me and there is no harm in admitting this. These last 11 weeks some days have been hell with a 2 year old... (good luck when those boys get there fopps because my god the attitude they have!) but when I took my little one to nursery on Monday, I cried my eyes out and did for most of the day! I suddenly hated not having the annoying little sh!t with me! Motherhood isn’t easy but she can’t admit that and that makes me really sad for her!
Also.... yours and Chris relationship reminds me of mine with my ex-husband.... you don’t talk, you are both on your phones all the time and all you do is spend money. Wake up and realise you need to change that as the impact on those boys and their relationships in the future will be impacted! I took the decision last year to tell my husband it wasn’t working and we needed to split. He is now with someone else and much happier, I’m with someone and have a better relationship with them than i think i ever did with my husband. I’m also a much better parent for it (can’t comment on him as his new partner does most of it for him! - but that’s my issue!)
