I've the three of them and I'm not terrified ...
It's mid-term. I've my three children at home with me all day. We're getting on OK!
It's a rarity really. Usually Big A is at school and Mr. R is at creche. At the weekend, Mr. C is home.
So a full day with all the children is now actually something I look forward to and enjoy. Before in my early days of motherhood, I recruited grannies, aunties, friends to help out. The thought of minding two or even three of them for more than a couple of hours overwhelmed me! I probably sound like a total wuss!!
I think it was a confidence issue (or lack of it) in me. Now as a mother of three, I think I've got better at the multi-tasking thing! Big A and Mr. R are older (still only 5 & 2). In a way, they have replaced the friends, aunties and grannies! We're a team now. Big A chats with Little A now (much to Little A's delight) when I need to do a few jobs. Big A and Mr. R play together. Things have got easier I hope!
Mr. C is going away for a week in a fortnight so I will be recruiting some helpers again, but if they can't oblige, it not the end of the world. We'll be OK!
Anyone else feel overwhelmed sometimes? I hope I'm not the only one!!

A kind of redemption
I didn't breast feed Little A.
I did breastfeed my other two for a very short time. Extremely painful and awful experience on one hand but also a satisfying and fulfilling one... I was keeping them alive with my milk!
