in check. But there are times when, despite all of my good intentions, the situation gets the better of me and I end up shouting.
My Little Miss Independent never lets me help her put her clothes on anymore so it’s not like I could even do it myself. But as I saw her picking up her toy animals yet again, I snapped. ‘Immy!’ I yelled. ‘I’ve told you – put your shoes on!’ ‘Sorry’ hasn’t always been a word I’ve been comfortable with. As a teenager and even into my early 20s, I found it really hard to admit that I was in the wrong., family members and especially boyfriends, I would continue arguing my point, until they finally came round to my way of thinking or, more probably, got bored of bickering with me. It wasn’t until my ex told me outright, ‘I don’t know why you find it so hard to say sorry,’ that I realised I was doing it.
To be honest, as I’d matured and met my husband Tom, the need became far less. We were happy together and hardly ever found fault with one another. This may be because he is an extremely placid person who doesn’t have an argumentative bone in his body, but I digress.
