JUGGLING two teenagers and a toddler can be full on for any mum but Nicole-Jade Campbell is doing exactly that - and she's only 22.She stepped up and became ‘mum’ to the boys when their own, Tammy Campbell, died suddenly at just 42.
"It's been a big responsibility taking them on as I've had to learn how to be a mum figure alongside being their big sister. "Mum was still laughing and talking on the phone, but when I went to her house to check on her she didn't look like herself," she adds."I had my daughter Ruby with me so I phoned my cousin and her partner and they took her to A&E to get checked out.
I'd put my daughter down for a nap, sit Rocky down with maths and English activities and then revise for my exams"It was tough in the beginning,” Nicole-Jade says. “I changed our conservatory into their bedroom, but I always thought it was temporary because I hadn't processed that mum was gone forever.
