I personally think it is not so bad if your kids let you cry. Of course rather not, but I mean it is not good to stop yourself of crying. It is good for them they see they hurt you once in a while. They started giving you cuddles so they did not ment it mean at all! Kids are just little devils, I was probably the worst for my mom. I wish she cried more, a natural sign that she is very upset what I at least would understand on a youn age. You are a very good mom!

It turned out a decent afternoon/evening in the end, so sometimes it is ok to that. Even was offered a hold of the guinea pigs to to cheer me up too. That was kind of relaxing, I might sneak a stroke in or two, whilst the girls are at school.
Ahhw it should be beautiful to see your kids putting effort in cheering you up! The idea alone gives me already a smile on my face :)
