Trigger Alert!

Some people may say would I have anything worthwhile to add to a conversation around little babies and toddlers, mostly because my littlies are all grown adults!!

Hmm!

Well I believe so. I would like to share somethings with you.

Did you know we had 3 kids under 4?

We had 108 cloth nappies to wash and fold.

( we actually didn’t use disposable as they were not in our budget)

I worked full time or part time whilst the kids were little.

I juggled family life, social life and work life all together.

Was it fun? Most of the time? Was it stressful? Yes

Rewarding? 100%. Exhausting? Yes.

Would I do anything differently? Yes. I would have let go of my expected values of buying a home and having so many items that truly were not necessary.

I would have worked less, spent way more time with my little kids- without stress- because the expectation and values wouldn’t have been there.

Expectations of others that you should do this and you should have this are something I have learnt to ignore.

Once I became comfortable in the fact that these external expectations, stresses were not serving me, I was a completely different person.

Do you see yourself in this post?
