  • To My Second Child I Loved Another Before You

    To my second child,

    You’re not my first; that much is true.

    I loved another before loving you.

    I’m a different mother this time around.

    More calm and confident I’ve found.

    Since you came, there’s a new dimension.

    Two children now want my attention.

    I was so excited first time ‘round.

    This time I want to slow things down

    Your ‘firsts’ will all be ‘lasts’ for me.

    Last crawl and last to ride my knee.

    You were not my firstborn this is true,

    But the last child I will have is you.

    You’re the last lullaby I’ll ever sing.

    And ‘lasts’ are a special kind of thing.💙

  • My Son Was Nearly Run Over By A Bus But They Blame me

    My son Tommy is three years old and a bit of a handful but such a sweet kind boy, my one and only child.

    Yesterday after leaving the cinema we walked to the bus station to get the bus home.

    Tommy was restless after having sat still in the cinema for so long and having had a pick and mix plus a large orangeade so was running around and burning off some excess energy and sugar high.

    As it was Sunday service the buses weren’t as frequent as usual so Tommy was getting bored, he kept running around and  knocking into people so I had to tell him off and asked him to stand still.

    Tommy stomped off and leant against a double-decker bus which had just pulled up at the bus station.

    The bus was parked there for no more than two minutes when it began to pull away.

    Tommy fell under the bus and his head was right by the back wheel, luckily I managed to pull him out in the nick of time before he was ran over, his head was literally inches away from the wheel, I was obviously very upset and shaken up but stayed calm for Tommy.

    Finally our bus arrived and I complained to the driver about the previous bus nearly killing my boy and explained that the driver should have checked his mirrors before pulling away as he could have killed my little boy.

    I was expecting him to be appalled at the drivers actions but I was shocked by the drivers response he said “well maybe you should watch your son and not blame others”.

    Now not only was I still in shock I was angry and upset, I sent an email to the bus company and am awaiting a reply how can they blame my child or me the driver should have looked after all it is his job to ensure people are safe.

     

  • Your Husband Should Eat Before Your Children

    Who should you feed first your husband or your child? 

    For most the answer is simple, your children should always come first.
    But there is a trend spreading across social media of woman admitting that their partner should always comes first.

    Look after your “King” and he will provide for the off-spring.

     

    One woman named Melissa Ravens aged 34 from Somerset posted saying “my husband will always come before my children, he is my priority, this doesn’t mean I don’t love my children, in fact I believe a loved happy husband makes for happy well brought up children, my husband works hard and needs my support. My children play all day so I plate my husbands meal first he requires more affection”.

    Another woman named Sophia Marques Aged 23 and mother of 2 agreed with Ravens and said: “my husband needs to be fed first so he can have the energy to be able to make money to support the household”.

    Many woman surprisingly agreed with these two ladies, although the majority of mums were shocked to hear this out dated idea and some weren’t very tactful with their replies and attacked these woman and branded them terrible mothers.

    Now I don’t agree these woman but would never verbally attack them however I 
    normally would keep impartial on my web stories but on this one I cannot, my three children will always come before anyone and that includes myself.
    I personally would rather starve so my children could eat, no man or woman will ever come before my children, but as long as all are being fed I’m not sure it matters which order it’s dished up.

    I always dish up my children’s first purely so it has time to cool down I had never thought of it as a positive or negative thing.
