My daughter has no interest in Halloween. She never has, and maybe, she never will. She’s seven-years-old and she’s never worn a Halloween costume, gone trick or treating or attended any Halloween parties thrown by her incredibly eager classmates. Every year, I attempt to engage her and every year I’m reminded that it’s just not her thing. She doesn’t like being scared or scaring other...

Some women make innumerable promises to themselves before they become a mother. They tell themselves they'll never raise their voice - They just won't be that kind of mum, that's all. They tell themselves they'll avoid processed foods at all costs - There will always be time for good, healthy cooking, you just have to make it. They tell themselves they'll maintain a healthy...

I have to admit that I was eagerly anticipating Budget Day. Oh I knew that sensible economists were muttering about fiscal responsibility and boom and bust policies, but I’d heard whispers that the government was going to tackle the childcare crisis, and when it comes to childcare I’d have taken a good ol’ pre-election giveaway over responsible economics any day. What would it be I wondered...

The last time my sister and her adorable almost four-year-old twin boys came to visit us from Dublin for the weekend, we ended up in the doctor’s surgery on the Saturday morning. My most accident prone nephew had split his eyebrow after hurtling head first into the corner of our glass-topped coffee table. Last weekend, they came to visit again and once again, we ended up in the doctor’s...

I grew up in the 1980s, when we walked home from school unaccompanied, played outdoors until dark, and bought sweets shaped like cigarettes with the coins elderly neighbours pushed into our eager hands. We played in building sites and fields pocked with cow pats, cycling adults’ bikes with no brakes and riding go-karts our fathers cobbled together from parts lying around. We climbed trees, went...

I like food. I like it enough that one of the shelves in my kitchen has a pronounced bow to it from the weight of cookbooks. I like it enough that Mrs. M gets a panicked look in her eyes whenever I perk up during 'Great British Menu' or 'Masterchef' or God forbid a Heston Blumenthal show (which usually prompts her to preemptively forbid me from buying liquid nitrogen over the...

I've come to the conclusion that there is no worse feeling than the feeling of having let your kid down; o f coming up short when your parenting skills were called into question; of realising that your efforts just weren't good enough, that you just didn't cut it, that you are a failure as a parent, albeit temporarily. I hadn't felt like that in a while thankfully - we seemed to...

What does your baby like to play with? My son prefers to play with the box the toy came in, rather than the toy. Actually, he usually eats it. I can’t seem to stop this child from eating foreign objects – last week it was a clump of my hair (ew), before that it was a feather from a cushion. I swear he is going to cough up a furball soon… Anyway, I digress. A problem I face as a parent is...

My eldest son is now 24 years of age, so I’ve been attending ‘Parent’s Day’ for the past 19 years. Each one has been an eye opener and on each occasion I learned something new about my boys. As a mother we always think we know best. No one else could possibly know our children better than us. Or could they? As I discovered all those years ago, they certainly could. Their teacher gets to...
