Sometimes Mum just needs to get some time on her own away from the kids. As much as I love being a mother, I realise that I also want to be ‘me’. Last year I decided to try something new. I joined a ‘fit camp’. I’d always considered myself reasonably fit; with hoovering, filling coal buckets, carrying kids, running up and down stairs twenty times a day, I had to be fit, right? What a...

“Are you sorted? What are your plans? Have you sorted Caoimhe? What are you going to wear? We are heading for dinner tonight to check out the restaurant before we book. Where have you booked? Are you getting your make-up done as well as your hair?” I have been trying to avoid these currently abundant conversations because, well, my daughter is not in fact getting married - she is eight years...

The two-year-old has discovered the furious joy of The Terrible Twos. An offer of assistance with putting on shoes will be met with a full blown, foot-kicking, floor-lying, fist-thumping melt down. Putting on pyjamas? Similar reaction. Getting into the car seat? That requires 10 minutes of reasoning, followed by a few threats about future withdrawal of travel rights and an almighty effort to hold...

So breastfeeding has made the news again. Any time I read a new headline on the subject, a little wave of anger washes over me. There are never any warm, fuzzy breastfeeding news stories; rather they tend to vacillate between militant and despotic. Of course it is important to acknowledge the benefits of any scientifically proven feeding regime, be it breastfeeding, or low-fat diets or whatever. I...

The Leaving Certer was moping around the kitchen, wearing his abandoned spaniel expression, so I immediately assumed that he was panicking about his exams and went into supportive-mother mode. “Is everything okay? I'm here if you want to talk about anything, you know that.” Leaving Certer responded to my concerned enquiries with unconvincing assurances that he was fine, okay, and grand...

Last week, I learnt a very valuable lesson about the importance of reading text messages properly instead of just scanning through them, like many multi-tasking mums usually do. That’s how, on St Patrick’s Day, poor Bruiser found himself marching through the village, the only child in the parade dressed up as a birthday present. The lovely woman who runs the local art studio sent out a text to...

Being the mum of a girl is hard work. Seriously, I feel like I was lured into a false sense of security when I found out I was having a daughter and someone told me: "ah, girls are easy." I’m pretty sure whoever said it only had boys. Motherhood is a rollercoaster of emotions and there seem to be so many rights and wrongs that it gets confusing - even more so with daughters when you're their...

I’ve put my son under surveillance in recent weeks. Don’t get me wrong, he hasn’t been up to anything. (Not that I know of anyway. Damn it, now I’m worried.) No, it’s more of a social experiment, I suppose. I’m trying to understand him, you see. I’m attempting to get to grips with what makes him tick, what sets him off and why I’m always the last to know what’s going to make him...

The day you give birth is a day you will remember for the rest of your life. The moment you meet your baby for the first time goes way beyond any description I could ever provide here. I get excited when I meet first time mums-to-be as I know how much of a treat they’re in for and I won’t lie I also get slightly jealous of what they’re about to experience for the first time because there...

I don’t know what it is but I read all the books and downloaded every single pregnancy related app and nowhere did it tell me (maybe it did and I chose to ignore it) that I would literally have no clothes to wear once I came home after giving birth, and I mean not a stitch! When you’re a mere mortal like myself you will walk out of the hospital and mind you I couldn’t even manage this very...
