To my husband…
I’m sorry I’m a pain in the arse,
I’m sorry that I’m mean,
I’m sorry I can snap sometimes,
I’m promise it’s the PMT.
I’m sorry I’m a little bit lazy,
I’m sorry I’m a messy cow,
I’m sorry I’m always blogging,
I promise it’ll be worth it somehow.
I’m sorry you have to work all week,
I’m sorry you have to leave our son,
I’m sorry I spend more time with him,
I promise you’re not the only one.
I’m sorry you pay for everything,
I’m sorry I don’t earn a lot,
I’m sorry money stuff is down to you,
I promise I’ll contribute to the money pot.
To my baby boy…
I’m sorry I get stressed,
I’m sorry you make me snap,
I’m sorry I’m not more relaxed,
Sometimes I just need a nap!
I’m sorry you watch daddy leave,
I’m sorry it makes you cry,
I’m sorry it’s not me at work,
I promise I’ll make you smile,
I’m sorry I didn’t appreciate you,
I’m sorry I couldn’t smile,
I’m sorry the blues took over,
I promise it was only for a while.
I’m sorry I give you so many kisses,
I’m sorry I don’t stop cuddling you,
I’m sorry I tell you I love you so much,
I promise my love for you is true.

Brilliant poem. I love it and can relate. lol Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me #sharewithme
As a mother it can be difficult to get through the day without some hiccups but it is clear to see that you adore your partner and little boy no matter what you have all been through together.
Thank you 🙂
I cried. I cried at this totally unexpectedly. It rings so true.
You know that Cow & Gate advert. I’m saying it to the computer screen now.
‘You’re doing great.’

Ahhhhh bless you! That’s so sweet, thank you 🙂 xxxx
What a lovely post/poem. Have you shown your husband this? What does he think? A lot of these feelings I feel too! I might write one for my husband too, thanks for the great idea!
Yes he’s seen it, he really appreciated it 🙂 you should write one, its nice to get feelings like this out xx
What a lovely poem, and one that I’m sure many of us could have written. Things will work out for all of you I’m sure
Thank you. Sometimes you just sit and think about these things don’t you x
Aw love, I want to give you a hug! It’s a really manic time and it’s very easy to feel like this. Chin up my love, we’ve all been there and assure you that you’ll get through. Great heartfelt post xx
Thank you. I’m fine most of the time, then I just let my mind wonder and I think about everything x
This was lovely Alex and I could totally relate too. Like you I’m trying to make a living out of blogging and feel so bad that my other half works so hard to support him, our son and I. This was a lovely poem to your boys x
Thanks Fi. I don’t realise how much work I’m doing sometimes, but I hope the hubby knows it will all be worth it in the end x
What a beautiful post, very impressed with your rhyming skills too haha xx
Ha thanks, I’m multi talented! 😉 xx
Don’t be sorry. It’s just life! You should never apologise for your life hun x
It’s when I see Lamb crying when his daddy leaves for work, breaks my heart 🙁 xx
What a beautiful and honest post and I have to say I can totally relate to everything you have written
Thank you Sandra. Life can be bloody hard can’t it! x
What a beautiful post. I got a bit teary eyed. Maybe its because I can relate to some of this 🙂 Awww lovely! Glad I read this. <3
Ahhh bless you 🙂 Glad you liked it. xx
Aw, what a beautifully honest and heartfelt post. Thank you so much for sharing! So gorgeous <3

Thanks so much 🙂 xx
Oh, I’m sorry it’s sad sometimes.
Situations like these do make you stronger in life. Try to see it with a positive attitude, I believe it’s bound to turn the other way around 🙂
Thank you. I don’t have many down days anymore, but sometimes things get on top of me and I start worrying xx
Beautiful post! I often think the same about how excited my little ones get about when their daddy comes home. Thank you for sharing this! Visiting from #sharewithme
Thanks Jennifer. I know it would be the same if it was me going to work everyday and daddy was at home, but doesn’t make it any easier! xx
This is such an adorable heartwarming post, i really love it!
Thank you x
This is just a lovely honest and open post, so heartwarming!
It does your soul good to count your blessings every once in a while, but it’s always worth remembering that none of us are perfect – we all just do the best we can. <3
Exactly. We do our very best and that’s enough. Sometimes I just have days where I think about everything xx
This is lovely – and also so sad. I had tears in my eyes reading it. All mothers can relate to it. It’s impossible to get everything ‘right’ – you just have to give yourself a break (and a hug!)
Thank you Niamh. Us mums go through a lot don’t we! And dads too of course. xx
How brave of you to be so open! I’m not sure I would have the guts to say things like this let alone post it on the internet so I really applaud you!

Well I want my blog to reflect real life, and this is my life. Not everything is balloons and birthday cake 🙂 It’s nice to write about my feelings every now and then 🙂 xx
Such a lovely post. I’m lucky enough to stay home every day with my little boy too and I feel guilty about it sometimes. Thank you for sharing x
I think I feel guilty because when he was a baby I was desperate to get back to work because I suffered with baby blues for 16 months and needed the space. Now I can’t get enough of him and wish I was at home everyday! x
This is lovely, but like others have said it is a little sad too. When my eldest was a baby and my husband used to go to work he would scream and cry that he had gone, and the second verse to your baby boy really brings back memories of how I felt about it at the time x
It’s tough isn’t it, but no matter what goes on in your life, we always fall into a new routine don’t we. xx
This is lovely but very sad. This time passes so quickly and there are so many ways that we don’t quite get what we all want during that time. We all do our best though and that is what matters. x
What a beautiful post. Just lovely. Sad too. Your love for both your two shines through xx
Thank you sweetie 🙂 I don’t often write posts like this, but sometimes the words just flow xx
Oh that’s so lovely, tears in my eyes reading it. I can really relate to it today, it is just so honest and heartfelt. Thank you, it’s posts like this that show us we’re not alone xx
Bless you, I’m so glad this meant something to you. It certainly is nice to know we’re not alone 🙂 xx
Ah what a lovely post. Sounds like you have put a lot of time and thought into this and it really is lovely to read. x
Thank you hun. It’s definitely something I’ve been thinking about recently, especially when I watch Lamb cry his little heart out everytime he sees daddy leave for work, then the hubby tells me he misses him. It makes me realise how lucky I am that I stay at home with him 4 days a week. x
