I admit it. I used to snicker at the mothers who dropped their kids to school dressed in Lycra. The Gym Mummies; what could be more of a cliché, I said. Shoot me if I ever turn into one of those, I said. But then other forces took over. Forces making me sag and drag, which coincided with my second child starting school. Suddenly I realised that attending the gym a couple of mornings a week might...

When I started at this parenting malarkey five and a half years ago, I devoured tonnes of parenting books and took everything the parenting gurus said as gospel. I remember being horrified when my dad, who is very much of the old school style of parenting, told my precious Firstborn not to be so bold when she committed some routine toddler misdemeanour. She, not at all used to such harsh...

A baby’s first year contains many firsts: first smile, first step, first tooth, first word. And the list of firsts doesn’t culminate on the first birthday, but goes on and on into first cars and beyond. This list of firsts isn’t made purely of moments to photograph and treasure forever; it also contains the ones you’d prefer to forget such as the first explosive nappy, the first bump on...

So today, just like every working day, I ran out the door to catch my bus, leaving a trail of destruction in my wake. Breakfast dishes still in the sink, wet clothes in the washing machine, toast crumbs and a few stray Cheerios on the kitchen floor and a pile of ironing so tall that it resembles the leaning tower of Pisa. Tonight when I get home from the office however I will walk into a house of...

Sometimes in life you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. I feel this way (like a lot of us) as a mum who works outside of the home and constantly juggling responsibilities both at home and at work. When I had my children, I decided to take time off work for nine months. As a freelancer, I received the State maternity benefit and then I was on my own. With Jack, when my...

My son was eight-years-old and doing really well in school - or so I thought. His teacher asked me to pop in for a chat one day. She was concerned about my son’s environment at home and asked if something might be wrong within the family. I assured her that all was well and wondered where this was leading. The teacher explained that my son was one of the top students in the class on a daily...

Today I heard something that frightened me and the fact I wasn’t really surprised made it even worse! I heard a young mother saying she was proud of the fact that her 9-month-old was able to eat a full children’s meal in a well-known fast food restaurant. It really is frightening to think that someone, no matter what their age or background thinks that this is acceptable, let alone something...

Do you ever consider the collective expertise and experience that organises the school run each morning? Mums (and Dads) who, until a few years ago, were presenting in boardrooms, or pipetting in laboratories or arguing cases in courts, and have stepped away from corporate life to care for their young kids full-time? I recall dropping my eldest to school for the first time and chatting to the...

Slip on your hand-knit cashmere socks, curl up among the antique quilts you like to scatter in front of the stove, and allow waves of gentle superiority wash over you. You deserve this: You spent the summer honing your body to lean perfection with outdoor hip-hop Yogalates and home-grown chard, while your children studied Java through Mandarin and learned how to do a mean sheepshank on that...

Over 18 years ago, my mum passed away at the age of 50. She was diagnosed with a terminal cancer a few months prior. While she fought hard to defy the odds it was a battle she unfortunately was going to lose. I was 19 when she passed away and prior to her diagnosis, I was a typical "I'm not listening" teenager. Our relationship was not that great and upon her diagnosis I tried to make up for...
