@Sunnyside226 , you are doing your best.

That's all anyone can ask.

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Thank you @tyme I must admit the Wiggles are doing my head in hot potato

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

If it stops them from running away, then so bit it @Sunnyside226 ! Wiggles and all.

But I recognise 3 young kids is a lot on your own.

Look forward to the day you hand them back so you can hopefully sleep!

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Nah, you're not doing something wrong @Sunnyside226! The kids might just be crying because they're tired, because they miss their parents, or because they dropped something - they cry over a lot of little things! Not your fault! Like @tyme said, you're doing your best and that is plenty!

You got this, good luck hun!

Thank you @Jynx I took them to get dinner and I am taking them to the park to burn energy how are you? What's for dinner?

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Haha good idea @Sunnyside226! That's what it's all about, burning their energy 😁

I'm pretty well, and probably making chicken noodle soup for dinner. First time making it haha wish me luck 😉

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Good luck 😃 @Jynx chicken soup sounds good let me know how it goes hope it works out you are better cooking then me 😂 I couldn't I would just buy it 😂 no time for that

Did you have a good Christmas? Do anything nice ?

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

@Sunnyside226 cooking is definitely something that can take up a lot of time, but it's super worth it! Much cheaper in the long run, and gives you lots of control over what you're eating! It's not too difficult once you get the basics down, I'd definitely recommend having a go at it some time!

I was up in NSW with family, got to spend lots of time at the beach! Very lovely. What about yourself?

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

The last time I cooked it got burnt 😂 I just spent Christmas with my brother and his partner we went to the beach and played board games didn't do much Christmas was a little sad as mum passed week before it @Jynx sorry 😔

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Haha that's unfortunate @Sunnyside226 I can understand feeling hesitant to try again! But mistakes are how we learn 😊

Oh that is super rough, would have been a really sombre time for your family I imagine. I'm glad you got to spend it with your brother so you can remember her together.

I'm off for tonight hun, lovely chatting to you and good luck with the kidlets! You'll do fab, I'm sure 😉💜
