I think as parents...This is a beautiful post Fiona! I think as parents we all feel "The Guilt" from time to time and I think it is important to accept that it is ok! We need need something that we enjoy to keep a hold on our sanity especially in times of high stress. My Daughter was a terrible sleeper and for the first 5 years of her life bot me and my husband were terribly sleep deprived. But we did what we had to do to keep ourselves going, and to make sure we kept our patience with Her Highness. <br />Just the fact that you are acknowledge the fact that you are feeling guilty means that you are pretty normal!<br /><br />I also feel bad about the amount of time I spend on the computer, so I try to limit it to the time when they are at school (school holidays mean I spend a quick hour in the mornings and just after lunch) and then after they are in bed. You do what you have to in order to hold on to your sanity! He won't remember much of these few years, so try to just enjoy this time when T doesn't answer back or refuse to eat his dinner.

I totally plan to secretly have my children's passwords for all social media, and I think you can get tracking devices for phones. I kid you not. My eldest is nearly four. It will be interesting to see if I outgrow this plan, but I doubt it! #binkylinkyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672452603937317071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-65592763508838416482014-04-11T15:03:14.546+01:002014-04-11T15:03:14.546+01:00lovely blog! my "baby" is 21 now and it ...lovely blog! my "baby" is 21 now and it doesn't get any easier! he is away at university but I still find it hard to sleep when I know he is having a night out! thankfully, he is sensible and isn't a party animal!Dawnio63https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581653462798371119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-55032028806821658192014-04-11T14:35:45.858+01:002014-04-11T14:35:45.858+01:00Thank you Rachel! :)Thank you Rachel! :)Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739624491973752005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-82714378183358879312014-04-11T14:04:56.701+01:002014-04-11T14:04:56.701+01:00What a lovely post this is x

And the other 9, and I remember feeling terrified about teenage years and growing up and GPS tracking! All I can say is that for me, as a parent you grow as they do. My eldest now does things that once seemed unthinkable (going to different towns on the bus, getting from A to B, just being more independent). Basically I handled her requests like I was a risk assessor! And I always insisted she let me think on my decision, so I could work through whether or not my visceral NO was justified. Tis tough, but you adapt.
