I have a 10 years old, toddler and the wife is also 7 months pregnant, Any fellow Msers with young kids? Any good tips, activities or just feel free to just say hi 
Congratulations on the soon to be new arrival! I have four 20,15,3 and 6 months parenting with ms is a challenge but Iām learning to adapt. We read and have snuggles watching films, we do easy crafts and I try to make the most of my āgoodā days. My younger too will grow up with a different version of a parent than my older two did but that doesnāt make me less of a parent and they wonāt really know any different. They will hopefully grow up with a better understanding if mum canāt do too much. I do have fantastic support of my partner and older children they get to do the bits that I canāt do. I wonāt lie though itās exhausting and they do contribute to some of my bad days lol plus playing dodge the latest bug/cold is always fun!

Iām not going to lie, itās hard work. I have a 5 year old and in and out of hospital. Luckily my husband is ver supportive.
Make sure you tell the teachers that you have a disability and they go above and beyond anything I could ask for. For the first couple of days Sophia is a little upset but kids are more resilient than we as parents realise.
Learn to pace yourself. If your tired leave the ironing till tomorrow or later on in the day. Learn to listen to your body it will tell you what it needs.
The guilt is the one than gets me is the guilt of not being the mum I want to be.
You will get there.

Balancing MS and parenting can feel overwhelming at times. Setting up daily routines helps both the kids and the parent stay grounded, especially when fatigue hits harder than usual.
I find it exhausting acting like Iām not in pain and I donāt want to portray this on my daughter as she deserves a āregular/normalā mother.
