I could only drink tonic water me when I was pregnant

I hope the quinine didn't have an affect in my baby

My daughter is so chill
Like literally I don't know how she keeps her head sometimes
I've even suggested that she should apply to go on quiz shows...shed absolutely kill it because her general knowledge is off the scale

She certainly didn't inherit it from me and I was too young when I was with her dad to wonder about personality traits and such and such

I don't even think personality traits were a thing in them days anyway

I wonder what percentage of people who go into fostering and adopting do it because the actually want to give children a good experience of childhood

It didn't register with me that I was gonna be a parent when I was pregnant....in fact I'm only just coming to terms with it 30+ years later

And it's not easy

I hate to play the blame game on this but I sometimes do think it's to do with not being parented myself and I wish someone would have told me that being pregnant=being a mother...I know that might sound obvious but it just didn't really occur to me at the time

I think could still play out

I was at the doctor with my 10 year old son earlier this year. She asked him if he had any concerns about his health. He thought a moment and then said, dead serious, "Well, I have been having these hot farts..."
