As I prepare for parenthood, I've already got one eye fully open to the fact that I'm likely going to be a nervous wreck for most of the next 10-15 years.

I think most of us have stellar parenting moments followed by stinker parenting moments. You're right - must just keep going and not stop to beat ourselves up too much! <br /><br />As for swearing, instead of actual curse words a friend of mine likes to yell, "Holey buckets!" - completely above board and yet extremely satisfying to say.

Well done you! <br /><br />Meanwhile, YES!!! I knew there must be other husbands out there harbouring quiet resentment towards their wives' online lives.

Agre...I was nodding the whole way through Katriina. Agree. Agree . Agree.<br /><br />Especially that little partner-dynamic: our partner's sleeping resentment of our time spent in a virtual world, a resentment that is revved full-throttle into life whenever we are caught taking a break from real life at just the wrong moment...<br /><br />Wake up for me is usually the sight and sound of Robert on a cleaning mission. I cannot sit idly by (much as I really blooming want to!) whilst he plays the cleaning-martyr... OR the shopping-martyr... OR combs Ana's tangled wet hair after pulling her through the washer...<br /><br />Yes, we get a bit distracted.<br /><br />We need the break. <br /><br />We are imperfect. Sometimes fall asleep on the job. Or want to be somewhere else.<br /><br />We get tired and we shout or frown.<br /><br />My parenthood has been punctuated by just so many imperfections...<br /><br />Your wee one is very perceptive. I am certain that she understands that she has the very best Mummy in the world; that we can't be 'happy' all of the time; and that sometimes it's just natural to holler.<br /><br />On my front: My number 4 is now a big high school boy. And aside from a slight mishap with a new jacket, he has settled fully into both high school life and teenage-attitude - including a maddening monosyllabic conversational style... His Dad is proud of his youngest son's popularity with the girls however - so, all is well with this little bit of the world.<br /><br />My eldest (almost 19) has bagged a graduate trainee position - despite having no degree - with the global retailer he's working for making him the only non-graduate on their graduate course. He is doing well. Came on holiday with us to Spain and was funny hilarious happy company. He is off to Ibiza for the clubs on the 5th Sept...his treat to himself before he begins the traineeship in earnest.<br /><br />The other three - well, Ana is footballing with enthusiasm; Meg is beginning to talk of leaving the idiot and is taking steps to getting on course again; and Evan (15 and the baby giant) is as mad and laid back a boy as ever - one who allowed a girl pal of his to pluck his eyebrows and who now looks like a real drag queen diva.<br /><br />Your summer pictures are beautiful. And the girls just like their gorgeous Mama.sansserifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445280597626572292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-74770080981300949282012-08-30T22:42:35.567+03:002012-08-30T22:42:35.567+03:00Gosh, I shout at mine all the time.

Much as we love them and we do....at times it is overwhelmingly difficult. I try to remind myself that there will be a time when they won't seek me out every other second, and try to console myself that I am lucky to be so central to their entire existence. <br />What wonderful photos - it looks like you have all had a wonderful summer holiday - and that is what they (and you) will remember most.

You are quite right that home is a good place for children to see the full range of human emotions, and learn how to deal with these. Indeed, learning how to back down, to apologise gracefully, and to make peace are all very important lessons. Our household provides volatile situations aplenty, but I am working hard on teaching "damage control" too!<br />As for serious accidents involving children... oh yes, it continually amazes me how infrequently they hurt themselves, given their penchant for danger. We try hard to watch them carefully. We also let them fall/trip etc. when it seems reasonably safe to do so. Maybe this sounds irresponsible, but honestly, they do not learn otherwise!Katriinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403719183047819222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-37715804281305698432012-08-29T20:30:26.454+03:002012-08-29T20:30:26.454+03:00Kellogs Ville: once again Blogger ate your comment...Kellogs Ville: once again Blogger ate your comment! It came to me by email, though, so I'll copy it here:<br /><br />LOL - the summer holidays are enough to send any mother insane - it's par for the course. But why worry about crying or shouting sometimes, it's a normal and natural part of life and if you don't show that part of life to your children froma young age how will they learn to understand that it is normal. If they grow up in utopia they will place massive expectations on themselves as adults to maintain that. I think it's more important to teach them how to recover from a shout or cry or any 'fail' in an appropriate way. Now that is where I often feel I #fail more. Lovely summer days photos, it all looks perfect to me :) <br /><br />In terms of no fear or awareness of danger, it regularly amazes me that there aren't so many more serious accidents with young children than there are and eyes in the back of your head is all you can aim for.
