Really, losing your Identity, yes big time. I have been ASAH mum now for three years and boy have I quite frankly had enough. Don't get me wrong this is the best job in the world, you just don't get paid for it. Once upon a time I was a bouncing energetic overenthusiastic career woman who loved going to work. Well not all the time. Now well I cook, clean, look after and nurture my children 24/7. Hard work is not the correct words, just exhausting. I love my kids but it is finally time for some me time. My husband and I have only been out twice in nearly 4 years. We both do not have any hobbies or have friends come over of an evening. It seems like a very lonely life. It is worsted by not having our best friends or family close by.
I have been feeling really low recently and angry. I could not understand why I felt like this until I realised that I feel quite normal and being a STHM will indeed make you feel like you have lost who you are!!!

About Me
- Alison Forster
- I absolutely adore children, and have done since I was a little girl. I am one of five children and a mirror-image twin. I was a project manager but now I am a stay-at-home mum, raising my three children: Thomas (3), Jesiica (2) and Wilson(6 months). I would have lots more children but my husband thinks there is enough mayhem in the Forster household as it is! The main reason for writing this blog is because being a parent these days is hard enough as it is and I'm finding there isn't the support and information to hand. I would llike this blog tobe a central point for all the amazing people I've come across as well as listing useful information for other people to share. I am a very stubborn and determined person. I have been through a very difficult and stressful journey with my children so far and I hope by sharing my experiences you can benefit. I am, of course, always willing to hear your stories too, so please get in touch!

Not enough time in the day!!!
I really do not know why I thought it would be a good idea to have a blog, where will I find the time.
Not only have I got three children under three, I have just undertaken a part time evening job cleaning. Yes I do have enough cleaning in the house to do. However I just need to get out of the house for a while every day just to keep my sanity.
