Am I The Only Mum Who

My other half often says that I worry too much about my children, that I check they are okay during the night too often and that I hate being apart from them and I am too overprotective. It got me thinking that I bet I am not the only mum who does some of these things.

• Check's on their children during the night. I even still check on my twelve year old.

• Place my hand on their chests to check they are still breathing during the night.

• Worry about them non-stop in case something bad happens to them.

• Get upset if someone is mean to them.

• Spend far too long watching them sleep.

• Feel guilty and miss them if I go somewhere without them

• Then text whoever is looking after them non-stop to make sure they are okay.

• Feel bad when I have to tell them off.

• Be amazed every day that they are mine.

• Phone in sick from work to watch school assemblies or if they just want a day with mummy.

• Get more excited about their birthday's then my own.

• Go overboard when shopping for birthdays and Christmas.

• Dress them better than myself, always.

• Take millions of photos of them every day.

• Go shopping for myself and end up spending the money on my children.

• Stay up all night worrying and checking on them when they are unwell.

• Always check the tweens phone and social media to keep an eye on her.

• Turn into a nervous wreck when she goes out with her friends alone.

• Feel awful for hours if I have snapped at them.

• Cry when they get hurt.

• Cry when they do well in something.

• Always wish I could do better.

• Always kiss them goodnight before I go to sleep. 

• Know that I will always love them no matter what.
