I am so terrible at this blogging business. I wanted to this to be like a kind of diary i suppose. Something that i could look back on and read to remember. But i forget, i forget to blog. I get these great ideas and moments that i want to put down, and then when i get the opportunity to get onto the computer it all seems to slip away from me. Could it be a lack of brain power from having three kids. I hope not because i still want to have two more.
Most people think that i am mad. But i love my kids, unconditionally. No other people in my life evoke so much emotion, good and bad. I want my kids to have not only me and their dad but each other as well. I want them to have strong personal relationships with each other so that there will always be someone there when they need them.
I want my family to be big and strong, as families should be (well strong at least). Ultimately i would love to be a foster parent as well, but that may have to come later. I am constantly striving to learn, practice and expand my knowledge base about good parenting. Currently i am reading a book called The 7 Habits of highly effective families (Stephen R. Cohen). I am really enjoying it and it is making sense to me so far. Really looking forward to putting some things from it into practice.
Funnily enough, one thing that i think i have learnt from all my reading is not something that has actually been written. No parent, no adult knows it all. Raising children is a constantly changing and growing activity. There will always be mistakes, but we must take these and learn from them. And we must always be willing to change, be open minded and continuously grow to be a great parent.
