Won't lie. The last few weeks have been rough. My eldest is pushing boundaries at an alarming rate, and the youngest still hasn't slept through the night.

I've not been very well and work has been getting me down. All in all, our household isn't having a rough spell. It gets easier riiiiiight?

One thing I wish I’d know more about before mine went through it is how much rewriting goes on in pre-teen and adolescent brains. Have a read about it if it’s not too late. It doesn’t necessarily make it easier to deal with in the moment, but it’s easier not to blame them for it too much.
