Does anyone else feel they don't have a life apart from being a mum don't get me wrong I LOVE MY CHILDREN but I just tried to sit down and play a game of cards and one my kids throw a tantrum because I was doing something other than being with her so I had to stop playing, I feel as if I can't do anything but be a mother if that makes sense

Of course this is how it feels sometimes
I have 4 kids
2 older boys 19/20
2 step children 14/11
And one on the way
I'm now 41 but remember when my 2 boys Where young
I did love it but I needed ME time too
So I either did that when they had day time naps or when they go to bed at night
I did some cross stitching
Reading
Cooking
Or just laying down
Walking with pram
Without the kids interrupting for about 30 mins / 1 hr at a time
Set them down with some colouring books on a sheet on floor NO TEXTAS
Or Tupperware / toys
A must is You need to make time they need to learn early that they can occupy themselves even if for 10 mins to start with
Then increase the amount of time
I'm going to treasure every moment with our soon to be baby I'm alot more relaxed this time round
They do grow up way to fast
Enjoy while your children are still young
