8months

Our first family meal together in 8 month's. People who know me will understand why we don't eat together. Well I thought they would. I sent this in Snapchat and a friend said that it was shocking and they eat together at least 6 time's a week. I was mostly polite with my answer to this.
Eating together as a family can cause a lot of stress on the autism front. And I try and do things that keep the stress levels down. Thankfully tonight was a success. I say success as food got eating, there wasn't too much having to get up and walk around, or having to spin in the egg chair.
Do I feel bad that I sometimes wish that we could be like a "normal" family and do this once a week. Sure. But I'm human. And when you have children you have all these expectations of what things will be like. Well this is our normal , my family of Wildlings . It might not be normal to some people, but for us eating together every few months work's. I'm hoping that when the Wildlings are older we will have family meals together most nights.

Today has been a decent day. I'm writing this while the two bigger ones are finishing up their bath and I watch them.
I am Tired after last night.

I will admit something ...... I am not the best mother at times. Especially when it comes to sick. I can't stand it, the smell , everything just turns my stomach. Well Xander shouted me upstairs, I thought he had had a accident, but nope. He had been like the exorcist and was sick everywhere. I was trying to be calm and was like it's ok buddy ( holding in my heaving) and rubbing his back. And then BOOM , I stood in it. It was dark, Lincoln was sleeping, and then that just sent me over the edge. I had to call for Mr R. He dealt with all the cleaning, while I got new bedding and dealt with Xander .

This morning you wouldn't have thought anything had been wrong with him. He's been on form all day.

I hope it's been a good weekend for you all. Xx
