Samantha Smythe’s Modern Family Journal

Let me introduce you to the Smythe household …

There’s me, Samantha, my husband John the Second, and our two children Bennie and Jamie. And then there’s my eldest son Edward from my first marriage. I love my family to bits but even I stagger a bit when I see the mess they create. Bennie, who is two, can’t seem to use a potty. Jamie, only eight months, eats nothing but butternut squash and Edward spends most of his time watching Scooby Doo and drawing pictures on his willy. Every now and then I lose my cool and start shouting like a mad woman and John has to take me upstairs and calm me down.
