This is my contrite face. Because I am stuffed with contrition like a Christmas turkey cushion.

Better half doesn’t like me sharing too much of our relationship on here. But I’ve been reflecting on some mistakes I’ve made in the last couple of weeks. It’s easy to put yourself at the centre of things, particularly when you’re tired, busy or when exciting life things are happening. But I’ve really learned this week that forgetting those around you, family, friends, your support network, not putting them at the heart of your decision-making, is the worst thing you can do. Being a parent is hard. Being a partner as a parent is harder. But I’m lucky to have found a man to spend my life with who can look past some pretty stupid, immature behaviour from me and not get angry, not lash out like I would, but who takes time away and always comes back and forgives me. Which in itself is hard because I just want to have a blazing row and hash it out. But I know his way is better.

Take a minute then today to think about them. Think about baby. Think about partner. Think about your parents. Because, and I’m guiltier than anyone of this, it’s so easy to cloud your experience of life through your own narrow perspective.

@trudibell44 THIS. Tiredness is a killer. Since I’ve had Bodie I feel like everything I do is SO incredibly selfish even though I never seem to get any time to do anything for me. So good to know I’m not the only one.

@ggheorgh you like your baby yet?

@periodicalprudence Where are you in your cycle? I often make strange decisions in the week before my period is due. Maybe you can get your husband to track your cycles with you? It’s important you don’t blame yourself. Be kind. It sounds like your partner is. (eventually)

@leisacrowd where do I find me a man like that?
