When I read posts like ‘Stay at Home Mummy – Work at Home Mummy’ it makes me realise just how hard it is to look after children. The woman who wrote this has got three kids that are all different ages and she must have the patience of a saint!

We forget all the hard work that is involved with being a parent. If a couple have got two or three children then the one who stays at home with them probably does twice as much work! Not only is it about parenting but there is also the housework, washing and school runs to contend with.
