Channelling my inner Fonz....


fonzie, originally uploaded by lawntennisnews.

I've been working on ways to be a calmer more serene mummy lately and what better way to do it than channel my inner Fonzie.

It seems to be working quite well so far and I think the boys are a little put off by my lack of reaction to their relentless fighting....followed immediately by being best friends again....followed by another fight....etc....etc....etc.....

Anyone got any tips....how do you stay calm when you feel like exploding? Of course it doesn't help that I'm 34 weeks pregnant and a little bit emotional not to mention completely exhausted but I'm sure where there's a will, there's a way.......heyyyy!

  1. Oh Sam! II hope it goes quickly for you.
    I learned today that sometimes being a nice mummy means less supervision. All this morning I was sewing (downstairs) and the kids were watching a movie and playing (downstairs)and I kept getting annoyed at the tone they used and the bossiness and the whinging and the crying.
    So when I went upstairs and couldn't hear them and I yelled at them less.
