KEEP RUNNING, MUMMY!
Seren looks less than impressed with the bling
I’ve come to realise that raising children is a privilege. A wonderful, worrying, weird, sleepdeprived privilege. It takes patience, tolerance and strength, but it is also rewarding and life-affirming. And OK, while sometimes (often) you need to close the door and take a few deep breaths to rebalance yourself during screaming tantrums and hurled toys, other times it leaves you breathless with awe at these little personalities you’ve created.
But mostly, it requires you to give more of yourself to others than you have ever done before. As a mother, you give, and give, and give.
I give my love. I give my time. I give ALL of my patience until (I admit) it sometimes runs out. I have given up unbroken nights of sleep. There are times during this parenting journey where I have almost given my sanity, rocking my screaming first born, alone, in the darkest hours of the night. I give my cuddles and my “magic Mummy kisses” to grazed knees. I give far too much energy to the endless stream of clothes that trail in and out of the washing machine.
