As a parent I have a hard time to not fall in to the advisory role. When sharing my advise I assume a lot of things (and you know, when you assume you make an ass out of you and me), including my way of looking at a situation/problem (but who says that the other…

T as in family
It is clear that all things are relative. Would I entitle my family (me, my parents and sister) as close? Maybe not, but still… yes, very. In the family I was brought up in we fight a lot (but way less now then before) but maybe we were just loud. We do not call each…
Birth, cigarettes & drugs
When going to sleep yesterday, Fabian decided to sleep over at his brother’s. After I read the bed-time story I stayed a little longer of a chat with the two of them. Those moments are magic. When you have a real conversation. Sam starts to sniff on “the tweenie” age and some talks we have…
Ruined beauty sleep
It only took one night to swoop me back in time, when sleep was hard currency on the black market. F woke up with a enormous ear infection pain (I would say that his pain thershold is far lower than his brother’s, but on the other hand far above my own) and for a half…
Why worry?
I hate it, but I guess it is human. I worry. I worry way to much about my children. I must stop. But how. And now I got a hip pain after today’s run. Life sucks. Kind of. Not really. But I need my “shrimp sandwich” back (that is what we Swedes say when you…
Is it not strange, but sad
I am of the opinion that you can’t love everyone. I am also of the opinion that you can not take responsibility for how other choose to react to things. BUT I am of the opinion that if you do not like a person there is no reason to do and say things (bully) that…
I think I have told you this one already
Who would have known what parenting really is about? For you as a parent. What ordeals it drags you through. How you constantly will be taught in your leadership skills. Today I passed in flying colors. But I had to go deep down in myself and be true to my own believes. But it doesn’t…
…and the good guys
I have the feeling that sometimes, maybe to a majority, I express somewhat negative opinions here. Strong minded opinions of when people are doing wrong (according Law of Louise). It might be natural that I have a bigger need to express myself when I things are tough. Therefore it is not more than right, that…
So where was I?!
Apparently it started on 2008, at least in the US. I can not believe that I have missed it, for 4 long years. I had to ask me where I was. And after not too long mind search I realized I was in the potty training period… and that was of course why. Why I…
Ache
Kids will be kids, but it is not OK that one is bullied (with ever so “small” things) so he feels that it is better to be alone. It is not OK at all. I try to get a perspective on it but the mummy heart aches :(.
I will get better
It is wired that I haven’t blog much lately. Since I have had so many viewpoints that “must” be shared. But instead I have edited pictures, networked, instragramed, started with the Christmas decorations and other important stuff. I I haven’t even been a great mother even. But I will be back. Soon. With extreme viwepoints.
Tick tock
It is getting late and a new working week starts tomorrow. Was shooting some pics today, and I am soooooo pleased over the result. Not so pleasing was the total melt down our oldest, who I had a fantastic great date with the other night, had just before dinner. I guess that is life. Good…
To see
It is so easy. In theory. To be a parent. All they need is to be seen. To be confirmed. I am happy and proud that I have fund my way, in my everyday. Don’t missunderstand, my children don’t get there will through. Quite the opposite. But I respect their feelings.
Date night
Yes, I know. A date night is supposed to be with your husband/wife/partner. But on Saturday I will have one with my oldest. I am taking Sam to the theatre watch a dance show. He would like to be able to do cool dance moves but no real desire to learn himself. But I still…
The good parent and all that
Life, what an exhausting little journey. During my years as a mother, I have come to the conclusion that it is my role, as a parent, to coach my sons after their personal conditions and character. I have also decided that I shall do this in a way that strengthens them and not by, the…
Windy Varberg
Today’s outing was Varberg. And what a windy day it was. Perfect for surfers. We saw a number of kite surfers hitting the waves. The destination for our execursion was Varberg fortress. We ran out of time for the vampire exhibition :(, but the Bockstens man and a dramatized tour of the fortress we did….
Bros
As you know, life as a mother can have its up’s and down’s to say the least. I don’t try to paint the picture more beautiful than it is. But I appreciate it massively when it is good. Like times like this.
