10 things i have learned from being a mom

So let me tell you about me and my family of  49 members (now you probably thinking shit this woman really has a lot of family but his is my immediate family and their spouse and kids and my inlaws and their spouses and kids and step family and parents that have passed away ) 

So we have these family whatsup groups that me and my family have and then my in laws and i have and my youngest sister in law Jessica said i should blog about the 10 things i have learned from being a mom 

So here it goes :

1. Every pregnancy is different just like each child is different with different personalities and moods .
2. Take all the advice you can get but with a grain of salt as what works for someone else child might not work for your child .
3.  Your gut or instinct which ever you call it is usually right on the button as if you think your child is sick or getting sick in your gut you know your right 
4. Milestones not everyone baby walks at 9 months or talks at 10 months or can do maths at 1 year old every child again crosess his milestones when they are ready 
5. Not all children like all foods some kids like veggies others dont some like meat more but dont give a child sweets before any meal that is my motto my son loves grapes and when  he gets home he is always hungry like boys are so he has grapes but always finish supper , my daughter will wait till we have supper and thats fine but no sweets .
6. Routine is key .... now listen to me my kids go to bed a certain time and get up at a certain time and my household runs on routine as i work from home 2 weeks and  week from  the office so i need to run my house like a business ... but you have to look further than that i am a normal mom not a extraordinary mom so this is what happens every night in our house Dolf and kids get home at about 440 pm then supper is done most days then we eat at about 6 as i still need to sent the progress report for work  then kids go shower then we eat the chill time comes as then Sebastian and Dad watch a movie or fishing and Jody like any teen likes to chat with her friends is in her room and i am blogging for a hour or so then bedtime my son has not slept in his room for about a year now not sure what the problem is , now you probably thinking o no this mom is a bad mom , but like i said before what works for me might not work for you my sons bed matress gets put down next to my side of the bed and every night i go lay down with him at 8 sharp  in my bed him on his matress and he just want mom to hold his hand and be close to him so i do this because i love him and because they small only once some people might say that is spoiling him , i dont think so he feels safe when mom is near and i will always protect my kids no matter what so then i also watch netflix on my phone while he falls asleep then i fall asleep as well so ita a win win situation . Jody goes to bed a bit later at 830 she usually comes and says good night to me in my bed .
7. Some days going to begood day other days will go bad but there is more good days than bad ones 
8. Our kids are only borrowed to us from God so we need to cherish each moment and take as many photos and videos as we possibly can as we can keep that forever creating memories is also key 
9. Remember  when you want to give up look who is watching then think again as giving up is not a option 
10. The most important thing is that you must take care of yourself if you cant how can you care for your children or your husband so do your make up go for a massage or just chill on the bed to watch a series your not a bad mom your a great mom cause you have to come first so that you can do everything else for them.
