Rosanna Davison opens up about daughter's tantrums and talks about chaos of being a mum

Rosanna Davison has opened up about the "chaos" of having three kids under the age of three as she describes her daughter Sofia's toddler tantrums and jealousy of her brothers.

Rosanna enjoyed a gorgeous family day out at Airfield Estate in Dundrum, a dedicated urban farm where visitors can roam the walled gardens and see a variety of animals such as donkeys, cows and pigs.

The former Miss Ireland posted a series of snaps holding two year old Sofia in Airfield Estate as well as one of her playing with her three kids.

Rosanna took the opportunity to reach out to fellow mums to ask what their lives were like with toddlers.

She wrote: "Everything I've read or been told about the terrific/terrible twos have, in my experience so far, been true.

"It's a magical age and they’re ridiculously cute.

"But… the tantrums!"

She continued: "All of the big, overwhelming emotions and frustrations with communication that toddlers deal with can lead to a lot of meltdowns, unintelligible words and high-pitched screaming."

Speaking about her daughter Sofia, she added: "Throw in jealously towards her brothers and some days, there are multiple meltdowns in our house.

"One moment Sophia thinks I'm wonderful and the next, she's trying to get away from me.

"Motherhood has taught me a lot about patience, embracing the chaos, the art of distracting an enraged toddler and just generally seeing the funny side of everything."

She then asked her followers how they found being a parent to a two year old, which she describes as "challenging" but "very rewarding".

She said: "I think it's always good to be honest about it to help others."

Rosanna and husband Wes Quirke welcomed Sofia via surrogate in Ukraine in 2019. She is also mother to twins Hugo and Oscar.
