Helen Flanagan has shared a candid insight into the challenges of parenthood, revealing her struggle to calm her four-year-old son Charlie late at night. The mother-of-three posted a video on Instagram on Wednesday (20 August) showing her trying to pacify Charlie, who was running around at 11:30pm.
In the clip, Flanagan bends down and says, “Charlie, I love you, can you come over to mummy please?” After he runs into her arms, she asks, “Do you love your mummy?” to which he replies “yes”. She then holds his hand to her heart and chants, “I am calm, I love my mummy”, which he repeats.
In the caption, Flanagan wrote: “It can be really hard when they are little but also I know that I’m going to want these times back one day too.” The video has resonated with many parents who have faced similar bedtime struggles.
