Felix is 15 and in year ten at school. I was really interested to find out what he felt about the new year ahead.
''My aim is to stay happy by doing pretty much what I did in 2013. I am looking forward to my birthday but then who doesn't? (ahh the words of those who haven't had that many birthdays). I am not looking forward to my GCSE mocks at the end of the year. At least I think they are at the end of the year. Maybe I should look into that. I am looking forward to learning new things and doing more engineering. I am thinking about making a new year resolution but not sure what yet.
My highlights of 2013 were my school reports as I was really impressed with them. I find it hard to think back to early 2013 but I reckon it must have been good.''
Its been really interesting finding out our children's views on the new year ahead. I was surprised at how how much they all are looking forward to their birthdays even if it's almost a year away. I am glad they all enjoy their holidays as Matt and I always try to ensure that we do lots of lovely things in our time off so it's nice to know despite the grumbles they do appreciate it. I wish our beautiful children an amazing 2014 full of good health,smiles, fun and adventure. I am also very much looking forward to spending it with them.

Reading these almost makes me wish mine were all still little and living at home! At least they all strive to fill their adult lives with the same lust for fun, adventure and knowledge that I brought them up on. They too, used to grumble about being 'dragged' to this festival or that party with 'those weird people', but now they so appreciate the life skills they've inadvertently acquired along the way, and I get the 'thanks for bringing us up so cool mum' buzz replacing the massive guilt pangs I used to be made to feel! My kids are such beautiful, caring, strong minded, hard working and talented people and if it weren't for parties and holidays and weirdos....and little me myself and I! This year I'm going to try to allow myself to be proud of my SELFie cos the proof is in the 4 awesome puddings I baked in my oven! ❤️
Darling lady, what a lovely reply. I am so glad to have feed back form someone who has children in the next stage and beyond who says do persevere, it is worth the grumbling and it does teach them that there is more to the world then TV and computer games. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting all your children, but the ones I have met are gorgeous, smiley and happy, just like their Mama xx
