Hi and welcome to my blog StressedMum.
Stressedmum.co.uk is for all you stressed Mums and Dads, a place talk about the fun times of being a parent, the proud times and the stressful times. Where we can share funny moments, talk about anything and everything parenting and more.
So a little about me. I am Sam, a mum to my 15 year old daughter and stepmum to two boys aged 19 and 23, and a Nanny to two new grandchildren. This is a role I am loving grandchildren are definitely something special to cherish.
I live in Surrey with my Husband, Daughter, along with our 2 dogs. Having a house to keep a home, a busy family life, and my Daughter suffering a chronic illness. Plus having the two dogs to walk daily, you can see why my blog is aptly named StressedMum.
StressedMum, will show the journey of living with a teen in the house, our journey together. You will find some posts from the heart and some fun and light hearted. I also show off my love for baking.
My Daughter started Secondary School in September 2015, and had settled in well. Unfortuntely, she has been suffering with ill health since New Years Eve 2015, she has been diagnosed with having ME, Fibromyalgia and Papilledema, and also just recently TMD as well, I talk openly and honest about the struggles we have faced and about how our lives have changed.
You will see lots of tears and tantrums as well as laughter and proud mum posts. Tips for daily living, plus my rants and rambles along the way.
I hope you will enjoy reading and please feel free to comment on my posts or contact me direct as I do love to hear from you
