Whilst time changes the challenges of Motherhood, the basics remain the same. A Mother is there to do the best for her children and teach them to spread their wings and fly.
So what have I learnt about being a Mother?
1. Being a Mother is full of decisions. You have to make the right ones for you and your family.
2. Being a Mother is helping your children to learn, whilst appreciating that children have different strengths.
3. Being a Mother is remembering to check trouser pockets for stones collected on a trip to the park.
4. Being a Mother is about knowing when to give them a hug, and knowing when they really don't want one as their friends are looking.
5. Being a Mother is becoming a chauffeur to small people who have a far better social life than you do.
6. Being a Mother is spending hours maybe days of your life, sat on your driveway too frightened to go into your house as it will disturb a sleeping child who will spontaneously combust into a meltdown if you open the car door.
7. And when you are lucky enough to become a Grandmother, being a Mother means you can get your own back by feeding the grandchildren lots of sugar and giving them annoying whistles.

Ha ha! Brilliant. Oh, number 3, definitely number three. Not limited to stones however. One rather unfortunate snail went for a ride round our washing machine once.
Yep I just snorted about the snail! Poor thing hope it is now resting in peace x
Love it! x
That last point so made me laugh! Like the hugging point too - I'm pretty much banned in front of other people with all of my kids now, unless they are feeling ill or particularly sad.
I honestly can't wait to be a grandmother - love it! x
Ha Ha my mother totally does the same. Every time she comes round my son knows to look in Nana's bag for treats!
In fairness it is my sister who is really bad! But that bird whistle was definately my Mum's fault!
hehehe - I really really really want my sister to have a baby - I have a lot to get back for there!
Mine are still really good - but you can see my eldest is starting to get funny bless him
lol my mum is the same and my mother in law x
