Hi all. I'm a Mum of two beautiful boys. My eldest 3 1/2 has multiple physical and behavioural difficulties. He's the reason I'm here really. We're just doing the ehcp process for him. My youngest is 18mths. He has ocular albinism. He's also a red head so can be fiery at times. I have ocular cutaneous albinism and am registered blind. My husband has no difficulties. He works full time whilst I'm now a stay at home Mum. I hope to return to work when the boys go to school. We're a very busy but happy family. Looking forward to hearing from others in a similar situation.

Hi @BeckyT welcome to the community!

You must be so busy with two pre schoolers at home! How do you find being a stay at home mum? I stayed home till my kids started school and though it was a manic time, I look back on it now so fondly!Scope

I'm so glad you said that Sam. Yes it's really manic. I think it would be with children without disabilities but with having to squeeze in all the appointments too it's a bit bonkers most of the time. We have four medical appointments this week and I'm squeezing in a hairdresser appointment and meeting a friend for a bit of sanity too haha. I do feel very lucky to be able to stay at home with my boys though. They're not little for long. I wouldn't want to do it any other way. Even though I feel like I'm loosing my mind some days haha. Part and parcel of being a mum I think.
