Going back to school for Rob and familyMonday, 13 January 2014 | Mummy and Little Me {Diary of a stay at home dad} So a new school term starts next week I feel like a veteran now that I have four school terms and a summer holiday under my belt. I am no longer a newbie and as good as that feels there is now an expectation that I know what I'm doing and to be more organized. I can no longer use the excuse ‘'Daddy is still learning'' I left it to the last minute again for getting new bits of school uniform for Ruby, but I feel a little more experienced now with each term that passes As I was looking back over this past year I couldn't help, but feel guilty over what my wife has been through, she found it very hard to cope with the children for various reasons (Especially little Poppy) Sarah spent so much of her time making sure everybody else is happy and putting her family first (me first) that she just forgot about herself. I take some of that blame as her husband who should have acted sooner and offered more support instead of being wrapped up in my work life. I'm glad my eye's opened when they did. (I am just sorry I couldn't have helped sooner) I am slowly learning now that if you want to have a happy family you must look out for your own happiness too. Do not neglect yourself, find time for you because if you're happy so will your children and if they are happy it makes life that little bit easier. As I said before I don't do new years resolution's as I think we set ourselves up to fail, by having unachievable goals which just makes us feel worse if we can't achieve them. What I am going to do is try to find more ways to be a better father to my two girls. To be a more supportive husband to my lovely wife and last of all to make my home a place of laughter. I hope we all take ourselves a little less seriously over the following year and that your homes will be filled with laughter as well. Until next week………. |
