1. Some days I can handle everything and other days I can barely manage even the little things.
2. The bad days end with a hot cup of tea and a whole packet of chocolate biscuits. I make sure of that.
3. It’s been months since I’ve been to playgroup. I love the mums and their babies but I just don’t feel like doing the small talk.
4. My youngest will be a year old tomorrow. It’s been the hardest year of my life.
5. I wind down my motherly instincts right about the children’s bedtime so that poor husband juggles all three – nappy changing/toileting/flossing/brushing teeth. He does it beautifully mashaAllah.
6. My maternal instincts mysteriously reappear when it’s cuddle, read a story and prayer time just before lights out.
