Today was an easy day. The next two weeks will be easy. You see when we take out one of our boys then the rest of our family runs smoothly. And it doesn’t matter which Boy is gone from our family.
I Am Such A Bad Mum
Why do I feel so happy when one of my boys have gone for two weeks to spend time with family? Well it makes my life such much easier. And I need that right now. I need an easy way of being. A life with less stress.
A life with no hassle. Yep I get excited when one of our boys have gone for two weeks. It means that I can be the Mum I need to be for my other boys. It also means I can go out and about with only two of our boys. Now don’t get me wrong – it could be any of my boys gone from the family dynamics. And I miss them like crazy.

But for two weeks I feel like I can cope being a Mum. It gives me breathing space and time to rest. So why do I put such a big guilt trip on myself? Why do I think that I have to be a super Mum all of the time? I guess it comes with the territory of who I am, and what I am. I feel like I have to be everything at once when really I need to let it go sometimes.
So does it make me a bad Mum?
It all depends! If being happy with only two kids and an easier week….then yes I am a Bad Mum.
But then again doesn’t it make sense to have a break from each other and to appreciate what I have got?
Do You Need A Break To Be A Better Mum?

New Life on the Road
I only have two kids – now grown – but when they were young it seemed like they were always fighting. Remove one and everything calmed down. I guess they had no-one to fight with! But also I guess we had more one on one time with the remaining child as well. Also removing any one in a group changes the dynamics and makes us all act differently. It is only natural. Enjoy it Lisa!

Hi Jan,
I am very fortunate to have my five boys (four living with us) but I do enjoy a break from each of them – and from my crazy busy life!
It makes me realise how lucky I am and gives us all breathing space.
thanking you for the great connection, and your amazing support xx
Cheers

You aren’t a bad mum for sending a kid away so that you can at least have an easy way of being. I do that all the time. In fact the kid seems to have much fun spending time with family and therefore I don’t feel like I am punishing him.
