hi everyone

hi

my name is Steph.

i am a mother of five. my two youngest have both been diagnosed ASD, one is 9 and the other is 5.

finally got them both into a SEN provision with EHCP.

finding it hard now to find my own identity. Before being a mum i always wanted to do acting, and if that failed be a teacher. 

now i struggle with finding things to do that i would enjoy and fit around the needs of my children. 

has anyone found a job that helps give them something to do. dont get me wrong love being a mum and my children but just want more for them and myself

  • Hi, I'm a mother of one, it's also tough for me. I think the advantage of having more than one child is that they play together,  so theoretically more time off, but then they also have arguments, at times constantly. I take breaks for loo and take my phone with me to read, what new a rover found on Mars, or what could be the landscape of Titan like, could we find life there etc. Till the children are little,  it's hard. Sometimes I send them both for walk - child with daddy and I take my reast to do something I love.
