A mother of a challenge - dealing with bad behaviour

Dealing with difficult behaviour is a tricky one for me and I struggle sometimes. It can be hard to do... #honest #motheringishard #mummyblogger

Last week was a parenting minefield for us and really has been a mother of a challenge.  It was challenging for both of us, but because I am the one at home most of the time I bore the brunt of dealing with some bad behaviour from all of the kids.  It was a long week and I ate lots of chocolate to compensate.  I have been umming and erring about whether to share this as I don’t want to vilify my…

Ollie finished lunch with nothing but a diaper on his bottom half, and then headed out on the (luckily warm) walk home wearing my cardigan as a make-shift pair of pants.
