It’s tough being here where we are away from family. But I don’t notice it as much as I do when Jaxon is naughty.
He’s a really good kid. But on those odd occasion’s when he does something and I must in turn punish him, I really just wish I had someone to back me up. Someone to be in my ear saying “Great job Boo! That is exactly what I would have done in that situation”
I’m sick of second guessing myself. Sick of wondering if situation’s were dealt with the correct way and if the outcome I want from my punishment’s and verbal commands is going to happen. Tired of constantly wondering if someone else was Jaxon’s mother, would he not have done that. Would he have learnt that quicker. Would it be the same.
I just wish sometimes that I was living much closer to family. So that I could get to see how it get’s done in other house holds. Because I have no one to learn from here. It’s all trial and error for Tim and I. And what if the way we deal with thing’s is “wrong” or isn’t going to teach Jaxon the things we’re trying to teach him.

You and all your friends are good mums – you don’t need me to verify it – we all learnt with the first child and changed things for the second – you cannot go wrong – I found the only real criteria for living in this world was that to be accepted, you needed be socially acceptable in the situation you are in – in other words if you are with a group of farters by all means fart but if you are not don’t! If you don’t want your child talking and doing something in front of anyone else – don’t do it or say it in front of them – things can be cute but if it is wrong – it isn’t cute. You will never go wrong if you love with good dose of reality – we are human so accept the frailty of us all – here endedth the lesson from Nanny 911
