Well this is one that keeps on coming up on the blogging seen.
We both work so we are the only influences in Daniel's life and it is rather hectic and all. Part of which we have noticed is that Daniel is not a morning person he fights going to bed but more than that he hates waking up in the morning.
We have horrible tantrums when we expected to eat our breakfast and nappy changes we turn into screaming monsters.
Anyone have advice on this horrible tantrum filled stage????
comments appreciated

Leaving your child Behind
Leaving your child behind....
This morning was sad for me as Daniel was not that happy to be left with Ouma and Oupa and although he did not want to give me a love,When it was time for me to go he cried out and it just broke my heart. I know he enjoys being with his Ouma and Oupa but I also know there is so much I am missing out on in his life.
But I am thankful that his grandparents are able to take care of him and I hope that when the time is right we will have another so that he has a sibling to play with and I hope that one day we will be in a position for me to work from home or for us to be able to afford for me to be a stay at home mom.

Being Difficult
I am having a tough time with Daniel at the moment it's at a time of the year where one is busy and more tired than usual.
The constant battle with Daniel is driving me insane as he does not want to eat his food at the moment and he is not a big drinker and he is such a skinny child as it is.
Sleep time is a battle as he does not want to go and sleep,scared he will miss some action.
I hope this will pass soon and Lord I pray that I might have patience with him.

Experiences of working and parenting
Colin and I both work full time.
I do find it tough at times because I am usually the one that organises supper,does the washing,dishes,baths Daniel (although I must just say Colin bathed Daniel last night so I could eat supper and wash dishes and some other chores).
I have been feeling rather irritated lately and I have gone back to the book I am reading and the Bible and it made a world of difference. I am able to handle Daniel's temper tantrums and just in general will just ignore something which might ordinarily get me to throw my toys out the cot.
