Things always seem to go up and down but I'm pretty sure its 2 steps forward and only one back now.
Things have been hard for the past few weeks but the meds seem to have settled and I'm feeling a diff. I'm actually having times when i enjoy having the kids. For a good while I wasn't and I'm beginning to feel more like me again. Don't get me wrong my kids aren't angels all of a sudden but I now feel able to cope with my terrors.
Steven and Stuart argue constantly, fight like cat and dog, being boys its real tooth and claw. Blood is often shed. I'm told the are just being boys but god its hard work!!! Steven is 4 1/2 now and is testing his boundaries. Constant talking back and trying to disobey me. Bulling his brother, over silly things. Yet he is an intelligent and motivated little thing who had vast concentration and precision when he likes. Nursery parents night commented how intelligent he was and very well behaved! Hmm was that my boy they were talking about or some sort of look alike!!! Stuart is 2 1/2 and such a little hard nut. A little bully when he likes unless its with Steven in which case he always comes out worst. my friends kid and him have a love hate relationship and gang up on other kids! Hes just doing terrible 2's but hes a poor speaker and I'm awaiting speech therapy for him which i hope will help. I suspect some of the behavior is due to frustration as we don't understand him. baby Scott is 7m now. hardly believe it. Hes teething and I'm in the process of controlled crying to get him off the breast thro the nite (cheers bean!!) with the hope that a full nights sleep will help us all. otherwise hes a good little thing, really quite content although i do admit a bit spoilt. hes a mummy's boy! I keep thinking in the back of my head this could be my last baby so make the most of it, so he does get plenty cuddles! Like the other 2 he does have a temper and a real little attitude when he likes. Full of the cold just now tho too.
My parents still aren't very supportive but are better than b4. Life not great just yet but its on the up and I'm finally feeling its going forward
