People with older kids are so patronising 🙄

Don’t you hate it when you complain about how hard you’re finding this age and someone with older kids says ‘oh it only gets worse’ or ‘oh this stage is easy compared with to xxx age’. Ok great I feel so much better now, thanks 👍🏻

I hate this as well 🙃 Just because they struggled with a certain age, doesn't mean we will...

All the time I get , wait until they are a teenager .....

@Hayley I exactly and just because they didn’t struggle with this age doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to!

@Ruth so annoying. I sent a text in our work group last week saying I’m gonna be a few mins late as had a hard morning with my son and I got back from one women ‘hate to say it but it doesn’t get any easier!’ That really cheered me up 🙄

They've just always got to get the last word in. Oliver has been fantastic recently. But we do have our hard moments. The only people who will really understand is this group. So rant away my lovely and will try to cheer you up.

If this is referring to the comment I made about having a 10yr old and finding this age a breeze, but agreeing to all the wine! I wasn’t being patronising I struggle everyday with all 3 of my children and each stage brings new struggles

@Laura I'm guessing she was aiming it at her works group chat. Can't even rember if I seen your comment. We all know you wouldn't ever mean anything patronising. X

@Laura oh no I haven’t seen that. Yes I was referring to my work colleagues and a few other comments I’ve had recently. It’s just not needed when you’re having a hard time.

All I will saying having a 10, 6 and 3yr old is that each stage brings new adventures and struggles and what some people find hard others will find easy! 10yr old girl- all the friendships struggles at the moment x played with y today and now they aren’t talking to me 😳 what if they don’t like me anymore! 6yr old boy couldn’t give 2 hoots about who he plays with who he sits with at lunch etc but is f*cking wired all the time and has no off switch, 3yr old behind on everything and doesn’t eat and has now started to attack people for seemingly no reason! Just remember we’re all winging it and they probably don’t mean to be patronising but are trying to give you the heads up that each stage is f*cking wild 😂😂

@Laura yeah I’m sure every stage has its challenges. I just think that people need to read the room and when someone says they’re struggling it’s quite obvious to me that you don’t say I think it’s easy or well it’s only going to get worse which just makes them feel even worse than they were already feeling.

Wait, what, it gets worse??!!

@Olga apparently so!! 😂
