Why am I good at it?
When I was a new mum I went through turmoil thinking that I had to present nutritious and healthy meals every day. Whilst nurturing their minds and teaching them to swim, learn a foreign language, limit their tv viewing, read a bedtime story every night, enrol in baby yoga, breast feed,use cloth nappies and bags for life.
I soon learnt that we can't all be domestic goddesses or earth mothers. I live in a suburb of Birmingham, I'm not pushing a bugaboo down the Kings Road to a play date with Jocasta and and baby Indira.
These women must have pizza and chips in front of the tv and sprint round Asda in their slippers surely.
Have to admit I'm quite lucky as they do eat well, Tommy could live on tomatoes but on the other hand Jack could easily survive on biscuits.
We're all vegetarian so the majority of what we eat is healthy and thought out but I'm not going to be deluded and make Quinoa stew with squash, prunes & pomegranate and then wonder why they've not touched it.
I'm not prefect, I have somedays when I've made something new or 'experimented' and I'm met with sullen glares and folded arms (and that's just Paul)
Stick the toast on, open a tin of beans! Balance restored :)
It is hard as a new Mum getting that balance between realistic and the complete ideal.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are getting it right though - happy meals with the people you love.
I quite like the sound of the prune thing - I love prunes however I guess I'd have to as noone else here would touch it. :-)
See you tomorrow.
