    Also just to add that you think your mum did a very good job and coped wonderfully, when your child is older they will feel the same way about you- honest! Children don't notice the mess, or wether the cooker is cleaned, the washing done, the floor mopped etc. They also are very forgiving, and will remember the good times if that is what they normally see. Also don't listen to you MIL, time makes us forget the bad stuff- otherwise we would never have more children! ha ha!

    Keep up your hard work- your doing a great job, being a mummy is no easy task.

    Hi OP

    I know how you feel it does get easier as they get older and im sure you are doing a wonderfull job. It does feel like life is one long cycle of washing cleaning and looking after the little one but it is all worth it in the end i often look at my two and wonder where all the time went they are 7 and 11 now and im so happy i got to spend so much time with them when they were younger even if it was only talking to them and playing silly games whilst i was cleaning. I've just got mine to the independant stage now and im gonna start all over again number 3 is due in september i'm a sucker for punishment ay :-) xx
