Sitting in Starbucks today I was privy to a conversation (aka?eavesdropping) between some mothers of young babies.
One was saying how little time she had for herself now and found herself having to shower at 11 in the evening because it was the only chance she had.
I could have chipped in telling her to try having twin babies plus a two year old but I wisely decided to keep my mouth shut. It got me thinking though because I’ve found myself complaining a lot recently.
Flicking through magazine I saw an article about a woman who has just had identical quads. Another lady has three children and has to bring them up on her own as her husband recently died. When I was in hospital with one of my babies when she had a high temperature there were many other parents there who would be leaving without their babies.
My point is that whatever you are suffering from or with at the moment, spare a thought for somebody else who has is much harder.
