Good on you for being prepared to change your mind. Surely the ironing service comes out of the joint account and not the 'birthday bank account' though? Would your husband be happy to receive a lawn mowing service for his birthday? If yes, then that's great!

If no plans, we invite her to some fantastic event we could produce. Where there's a will, there's a way. Or maybe a virtual cup of tea somehow....

I have chores to do, work to do and want to be around for my children when they get home from school. The only way I can get around it is by asking more of my husband to help - ie he can make some house type calls or do the food shopping whilst I unload the dishwasher and do the ironing. It makes my life easier but it is still a juggle. Jessica I think I deal with this most days. I have chores to do, work to do and want to be around for my children when they get home from school.

You did deserve a medal and I think I will look on the apps store to see if "there is an app for this", giving mums a digital reward for everyday of hard work! and if there is not one, we should ask Nick to develop one! xxx so true. although no mention of the broken bolier in the rant so you certainly managed to cope with this and prioritised. what was Nick’s answer to your call? did you feel better after you spoke to him and was he re-assuring?

It reminds them of who they are, gives them time to relax and also have a different kind of fun.

I think it is great to focus on you as a person not just as a mum or partner. I have been spending more time for me and love the fact that I come back to work refreshed and ready to get moving again. I have no guilt although I may have to work harder or a bit longer later on. Jessica,

Al great points to make. I think it is great to focus on you as a person not just as a mum or partner. I have been spending more time for me and love the fact that I come back to work refreshed and ready to get moving again. I have no guilt although I may have to work harder or a bit longer later on.
