I have discovered that sometimes the key to having a happy family life is to briefly leave the family. I’m not talking anything drastic here, just a short foray into the wider world without children hanging on your legs, partner’s wondering why we’re looking in this shop again, and nappy bags clanging off your shoulder. I’m guessing there are a lot of other parents out there like me; when...

As children grow up, we help them with the hurdles and obstacles that life places in their way. With babies and toddlers, these are literally just stumbling blocks like Lego pieces and dodgy stones, etc. But as they get older it’s the real-life stumbling blocks and hurdles that are much harder to help them get over. Having three boys, I always knew that the teenage years would be hard. As a...

As soon as I finish writing this week's post we all have to take a trip into town. I used to love getting into the city, and for the most part I still do. I'm a true blue Dubliner and despite my occasional protests that I'd rather be in London or Paris or Chicago or Barcelona, the sights and sounds and smells of my native city do it for me every time. I'm sure my kids think, or...

I am on a mission to make my house a yell-free zone. I’m sick and tired of shouting and roaring at the kids like a fishwife and then battering myself over the head with the guilty stick for the rest of the day. I’m also worried that one of these days, the next door neighbours will report me to child protection services or worse, the Gardaí. How has it come to this? I can’t remember ever...

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks cowering beneath playground apparatus all around Dublin, waiting out heavy showers of rain, while wrapped in waterproofs and fleeces. Clutching paper coffee cups for warmth, I’ve tried not to think bad thoughts about my sister who, at the same time, has been baking on a Mediterranean beach, while I have to buy my vitamin D in a plastic bottle from Boots. We...

Those of you who have lost a baby, you know the grief. The remembering hits you at the most unexpected times when you’re not altogether prepared for it. Even though it’s been a couple of years since we lost our first, I thought I was over it or at least learned to live with that little part of you that will be forever missing. But the words of Ed Sheeran’s song Photograph, which he was...

I am well aware of the dangers of the sun and the importance of applying cream to my daughter’s delicate skin, but I’m also well aware of how much of a pain it actually is! Add to the fact that I reapply all over every hour as I'm t errified my baby girl will get the slightest tinge of red, sometimes I love when the sun doesn’t come out. Admittedly, the weather has not been the best this...

My mother always told me I’d need eyes in the back of my head once I become a mum. While obviously I understood the phrase, I didn’t truly appreciate the sentiment until very recently. Despite having been a mother for fifteen years, I have, thankfully, endured very few scares when it comes to my children’s whereabouts. While getting lost in a supermarket or going momentarily missing during a...

The media has recently been awash with reports of parents accidentally leaving their children trapped in cars and I’ll be honest, I can barely read them without experiencing an almost physical reaction. When I hear members of the public slamming those ‘idiotic’ and ‘irresponsible’ parents, I swallow against my nausea and silently agree, all the while knowing I am the very parent they are...
