Hi Lisey and welcome to Kickas. This site is wonderful as you have been told already and full of great friendly and informative people!
I'm the mum of a seven yr old, a three yr old and a twenty month old. If any one lets you know how to make it any easier dealing with AS and looking after littlies then I'd also be interest in knowing also.
Although my 20 mth old has only just started walking I will be buying one of those leash things for him as he at times runs faster than me and on a bad day I just won't be able to catch up with him.
I can't carry my kids as it hurts too much and causes too much pain! I sit down to cuddle and only carry in urgent situations such as an accident and they need to be carried because the tiny, tiny scratch on their knee is to them, life threatening!
My kids soon learn to come to me and that I can't always run to their side if they trip over!
I sometimes look at myself and think how do I do it, but I do and always will. I'm lucky at the moment as I'm out of a flare and in a small amount of discomfort so I'm very happy! It helps to have people around you to call on when it is required and family to stay over when needed. I live away from family so rely soley on my husband for help and if he's not there then I grin and bear it. The only thing that helps when I'm that bad is this site and the support I receive! I learn new things all the time and even though I can struggle at times I know that all the members here can understand me and what I go through and what we all go through!
Come and join us in the womans forum sometime as there are things that you may be able to relate to, and information you may want for yourself.
If you have come this far with a two yr old then you also can tell us the secrets that help you be a good Mum.
