7. If people saw you in the street, how would they describe you? Bubbly, warm and happy
8. What’s the best piece of parenting advice you got? Go with the flow, no two babies are the same so sometimes you have to try everything to find what's right for your baby and you!

10. What is the stupidest thing anyone said to you as a parent? I shouldn't give up breastfeeding, don't stop just keep trying and trying (for me this made me stress and worry unnecessarily and caused a slowly growing gap between my son and I as I was confused as with what to do and why my milk supply just wasn’t working. I tried everything I possibly could and it just became less and less each day. It wasn't a decision I didn't want to make)
11. Can you share your favourite restaurant for families? curently its Kalis Bros, but higs breath cafe to Hans are always a favorite

14. What is the best thing about being a parent? Full time mother i get to see everything-getting to spend so much time watching them grow, helping to shape them and seeing their reactions to new experiences, I often find that the most exciting part! (new things like sounds, objects, shapes, colours, foods...)

the worst day!

I have had quite possibly the worst day in the history of parenthood
my 4yo has been a horror today! he has done just about everything to wreck ruin, scream
yell and tantrum at just about everything thats needed to be done today!
Yes call me a bad parent if you will i get my 4 year old to tidy his room and make his bed, dont like it BITE ME! , but i do, i believe it gives him a sense of responsibility, i hate snobby kids who grow up not knowing how todo anything for themselves! Anyway, back on topic, i asked my son Tyler hey mate could you tidy you room, and he ran off , i couldnt find him for 5 minutes, then i said well its time out for running away and he had a huge tantrum!, then i said well youl be in there longer and well guess what another tantrum, i made him his favorite lunch consisting of a ham sandwhich, some chopped up apples and watermelons, well i guess today he didnt want it and threw it on the ground, 5 second rule i picked it up and said well your going to have this or nothing and he then proceded to throw it again, which all this is taking place my peaceful 1 year old is sleeping and did so for 4 or so hours *JOY* ...after all the drama passed he tried to knock over the xmas tree, climbed into my 1year olds cot and then went and hid up with my mother in law (she lives upstairs) UGHHHH .....im putting his behaviour down to not sleeping that well last night, and he was up at 6 this morning, who knows, all i want todo is go to bed, and its 5.44pm...go figure? well i feel somewhat better after rambling on about my completely horrible day, heres for 2moro?
