My 12-year-old daughter Rebecca came home from school the other day in a state of mild distress. Forlorn, morose and appearing in desperate need of a hug, she finally admitted that she felt ‘left out’ by her friends. I doubt there are many women out there who have made it to adulthood and not experienced the twinge of hurt that can accompany this feeling of isolation. Whether it happened in...

My little girl arrived via emergency Caesarean section on May 4th 2011 and I named her Joan. We became the talk of our ward as I had had a rare condition called an abruption, which in the words of one midwife, “put everyone on their toes”. A few days later another nice midwife, whose name I wish I remembered, walked me through that all-daunting task of giving your baby their first bath. She...

Last year, comedian Tommy Riles wrote a very sweet letter to his daughter’s future Valentine that I loved so much when I first read it that I wanted to share with mums again. While it may be a long time before the three-year-old is going on any dates, the letter is a future warning to anyone who wants to take Babs out. Good luck to the guy this little girl brings home in a few years. Dear...

Many of us like to think a Bring your Child to Work Day would be the perfect way to balance out our working and family life (although some might relish the time outside of the home – it is definitely a lot less stressful!) But at the European Parliament, every day is a Bring your Child to Work Day, thanks to MEP Licia Ronzulli. When the Italian MEP brought her six-week-old daughter, Vittoria...

While myself and my husband of sixteen years have yet to reach a stage where we designate one evening a month to sex, it’s fairly safe to say that we’re not quite as amorous as we were when we met in our twenties. And I’m going to be honest here, I prefer it. Don’t get me wrong, I fancy my husband every bit as much as I did when I met him 21 years ago, but sex round the clock can be...

Remember when you gave birth and people on the internet immediately started judging your post-baby nutrition plans? Yeah, me neither. And thank God for that because my plan once I delivered Ella was to stay in sweatpants for the foreseeable future and do everything in my power to keep this tiny human alive. That was it. I had no aspirations past giving round-the-clock care to my new arrival and...

The news that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists had issued new guidelines this week regarding alcohol consumption and pregnancy brought a whole host of memories back to me. Guidelines, stipulations, rules and regulations; when I was pregnant with Ella seven years ago I could have repeated each and every statute verbatim. Hell, my partner said I was mumbling them in my sleep and...

I am currently on maternity leave and am very aware that my time for returning to work is fast approaching. This is something that has been playing on my mind lots over the last week or so. As I begin to organise childcare for my little ones, I feel somewhat in denial that my time at home with them is coming to an end. I enjoy every moment I spend with my children, but I know even when I return to...

Saturday felt like one of those days where nothing I did for my children was enough and it was also one of those days when I questioned everything about motherhood: What was the point of it? Here I am bending over backwards for these children and I’m still not measuring up - do they hate me? How can I be getting it to so wrong? It was a rare Saturday where I didn’t have a work deadline to...
