One thing I have vowed never ever to say to a mum of young kids is “enjoy them while they’re young” or “the years pass so fast”. If I had a euro for every time some well-meaning older mother said this to me, I could fund a trip to Disneyland Paris – or at the very least, Tayto Park. Of course we want to enjoy the children we have been blessed with and to appreciate every second we...

Surely the next best thing to being blessed with a great mother, is to be blessed with a great auntie. It’s probably fair to say that in the majority of cases, the best aunties – the ones we are truly closest to – are your mother’s sisters. Maybe it’s because we know them better from spending more time with them as kids or maybe it’s because so often the good ones are like your own...

When our son was born in July 2011 it was such an amazing day. It was the day that my husband and I became a family. Since his birth I’ve always been grateful that I savoured every moment as best I could and I still do. Now nearly four years on I’d love nothing more than to press stop, hit rewind and play it all again. This August my son will be starting Montessori and while I’m looking...

As I write, the Leaving Certer is delightedly chucking stacks of English notes into the recycling bin, and by June 15 th , I will have to make a special trip to the dump to dispose of the remains of 13 years of schooling. After just two papers, however, he has already announced that he is “bored with exams”. Boredom, fear, exhaustion, worry, relief, panic — these are just some of the...

My daughter turned to me the other day and said: “Let’s take a selfie!” She was dressed up in a new dress and did look extremely pretty, but I was a bit taken aback. How does she even know what that word is? She’s only four! Did I teach her that word? When was the last time I used that word? I couldn’t remember. I’m not a big fan of selfies. Yes, I love taking photographs but if...

One of my sons is not very sociable. He is a unique and wonderful and clever and funny boy, but the knack of making friends is a little late in coming. He's happy but as any mother can imagine, it worries me. Less now than in the past, I am pleased to say. I can see now that while he does not have any close friends in school, he has finally got the maturity to make some in the future. He did...

After spending the last week potty training my son, I’ve started to wonder who is potty training harder for, is it the child or the parents? Of course it’s hard for the child, after all they have only ever known nappies,but as I’ve witnessed here this week once it clicks into place and they get it they really fly at it and gain more confidence every time they successfully go but what about...

Most of us remember the first pet we had when we were kids, and just how utterly devastating it was when they died. Even now, nearly 30 years later, I can vividly remember how I felt when my first my terrapin and then my rabbit died. Both happened years apart but they definitely introduced me to the unpredictability of life at an early age. Sadly, my daughter experienced that awful feeling last...

Last Saturday morning, I had a neighbour lean conspiratorially across the low wall which divides our front gardens and gesture I come closer for a chat. Inwardly I sighed, replaced my shopping bags in the boot and reluctantly mooched forward with a vague smile. Well, I think it was vague, but it was probably more strained than anything. There is nothing wrong with this woman per se, but she’s...

We had a choice. Drive to Ikea and buy a new chest of drawers and spend an hour or two assembling them and cursing all flatpack furniture. Or not drive to Ikea and fix our current, worn out chest of drawers. We chose the latter. That is how I ended up in our bed, reading stories to my four year old while his nine and twelve year old brothers pootered about, as we waited until their dad finished...
