I love them but…. 5 things I won’t do for my kids!
- Stop Travelling
It was a passion before I became a parent and that passion is still strong now that I am a parent. Holidays are great for family time as well so I think its a win win all round and worth every bit of effort. It’s as chaotic and as crazy as at home but it’s not home and it’s wonderful. - Give them an unlisted supply of money
We talk about holiday money and birthday money to get things and while we don’t track it its a good way to curb the constant asking of for things. Himself did think I was a bit harsh when I told her I was using her holiday money to pay for the magnet she was told not to touch and dropped and broke. I told her it was 4 ice creams worth…. - Make them the centre of my universe
I am a person made of many parts and that makes me (hopefully) a good parent. I won’t sacrifice my relationship with my husband for my kids and I won’t loose myself to parent my kids. I will focus on what I have to offer them and the world and teach them to focus on what they have to offer the world, rather than what they can gain from it. - Stop them making mistakes
I hope that they will learn from their mistakes and become stronger more independent little humans. - Kiss their arse
They come to me when they hurt themselves and I kiss it better. Today No1 came and she had hurt her bum and I learnt today that I won’t actually kiss their bum! Who knew ??
