@thejess.jones *UPDATE I FOUND HER* I know the first mistake I made was going to IKEA with four kids on my own and trust me, that £60 delivery charge is looking VERY reasonable now but I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much at the time so thought surely a quick trip there would be alright….😬 Being a parent is hard. Whether you have one kid or four (or more)it can be tough! Navigating parenting a child with additional support needs is new to us and simple things like nipping to ikea suddenly aren’t so simple anymore and you can’t predict it or know what will happen so every day is a learning to work out what is ok and what isn’t. Trevor only gets one weekend off a month, I can’t cram all my errands and life into one weekend so I try and still crack on with all the things we all have to crack on with like any other parent and family. And look, I appreciate the privilege I have of even being able to share the load with him as there are so many parents navigating this all alone or with partners who are away for long periods of time/deployed etc Today was just one of those moments where it all happened at once. The boys was crying, I had also lost my phone in store (someone handed in to security) so I had Sophia dealing with that for me and I was trying desperately so make sure everyone was safe and I could calm and everyone down. I would LOVE to thank this incredible woman who rather than stare or judge me, opened her heart and was so generous with her time to not only help, but wait with me, push my trolley, get me and the kids back to the car and her lovely husband and children who waited patiently and kindly too. It was in IKEA Milton Keynes at around midday today. She was wearing a pink floral dress I think and was blonde? (It’s all a bit of a blur!) she had 2 children who were maybe around 6-9 years old (one was defo a boy). If anyone knows a friend who was there today OR someone has mentioned the desperate mum in IKEA she helped (🙋🏽♀️) then please let me know so I can truly thank her properly. And please please please always remember to be kind. It’s hard out here and often it’s made so much worse by the stares, the tuts and the judgement. ❤️
