Raising Boys

Well what can I say or should I say where do I start...

People often think I’m a supermum for raising 3 boys but that’s not true at all. I have face down moments with tears and all, I’ve lost my shit and felt like I have no idea what I’m doing but then I have days I do feel like I’m supermum flying in my cape, I’ve got it all worked out, have everything all organised, in order and together but then WHAM!!! Here comes the curve balls and there’s always curve balls...

They are full on from wake up to when they finally go to sleep at night it’s go go go! They are constantly wrestling, fighting and always physical with each other which always ends in tears but they go back for more! Believe me I went through a stage where I felt like I was a referee, I felt like I was on edge and constantly telling them to stop! But you know what boys are physical beings so I’ve learnt to surrender, to let them work it out and I intervene when I feel it’s necessary. You see it’s like the Alpha male of the pack trying to lead the way now with 3 trying to claim that spot which one will be the Alpha!

They climb on things, grab things like rodents running around. They can be very erratic and do things without thinking first, they seem to destroy everything they touch or even look at! The amount of things that have been broken and wrecked but I’ve had to learn and I still am, not to sweet the small stuff and remember it’s only materialistic things and let it go!!! Yes there’s consequences but they still don’t seem to learn the lessons boys will do it again and again and again! Hopefully one day the light bulb will go on!

The house is never ever quiet, it’s a rare moment you will find them chilled out watching a movie. Boys need to be outdoors plus they love it another reason why you will always find us outdoors in nature doing bush walks, playing in the sand, at the park, climbing rocks you name it we are doing it!!! The whole house is happier when we are all out burning off all that energy...

One thing that makes boys very special, they are very affectionate especially with their mums always full of lots of cuddles and kisses, they pick me flowers (which I never taught them too) tell me I’m beautiful so I’m one very lucky mum to be a mum of 3 very special boys...

Much love 💕
