Ruthie,

I have four children. DS1 is 13, DS2 is 11 and hormonal, DS3 is 8 and

stroppy, DD is2.

I love to read about your children. Not only am I coping with a

toddler when all my local friends have moved on from the baby years

and I'm feeling really left behind and isolated. But I'm also

handling first girlfriend (I'm trying not to think of the phone

bill), first job (paper round), and the tantrums and rows. DS1 is not

only a teenager, but also dyslexic so you can imagine how popular

studying is with him.

Your posts are as relevant to my experience of parenting as those on

fabric nappies, vacinations, fussy eaters, schools and pre-schools.

Thank you.
