My six-year-old daughter Ella has a penchant for the dramatic. She does wonderful impressions, positively revels in the limelight and sees herself treading the boards on Broadway some day. Unfortunately however, she doesn’t leave the theatrics at drama class or performing arts club. Ella is, and I’m sorry if this sounds a little harsh, a drama queen 24/7. While I enjoy her twirling around the...

So I’m finished, done, finito, it’s over, that ship has sailed and I’m happy to wave it off on its voyage from the dockside. I’m referring of course to the baby making years. My name is Tara Duggan and I have completed my family. This news will come as enormous shock to my nearest and dearest who I’m certain were expecting me to announce the impending arrival of another little bundle any...

Becoming a mum for the first time was incredibly exciting. It was like I had officially become a proper grown up - as if being married and having a mortgage wasn’t grown up enough for me already. After I slowly (very slowly) got used to being a new mum, it began to dawn on me that I had not become the mother I had always envisaged in my head; in fact, I was nothing like her. When I was pregnant...

My eldest is what educational professionals might term ‘a reluctant reader’. She can read a book no bother; she just won’t bother. This in turn bothers me. Open a paper on a day ending in 'y' and there will be some new piece of research showing the benefits of being read to as a young child and then continuing to read from that point. We are told that reading regularly for pleasure...

Having three sons I always thought that life would be reasonably easier than if I had three girls. I wouldn’t have the ‘first bra’ talk. I wouldn’t have the ‘cat fights’ over clothes. I wouldn’t have the ‘period’ talk...or so I thought. My eldest son was about 11-years-old at the time and he insisted on asking ‘what are they, Mum?’ every time a sanitary towel advertisement...

I really enjoy reading Lucy Kennedy’s Mums Love Lucy blogs here on MummyPages. Her pieces are so honest and I often find myself smiling while thinking: “You’re so right!” Recently I was reading How to feel like yourself again and it reminded me of how much time it took to “feel like myself again” after our children were born. At the time, I wondered if it took me longer to reach this...

Has family life changed for the better or is it at the detriment of our children’s upbringings? Are we getting the balance between home life and community involvement just right or is the increasing pace of life reducing the amount of time available to participate in the wider community? In years gone by, the extended family – and indeed the local community – all played a much larger role in...

Broadcaster and mum-of-eight Miriam O’Callaghan believes that staying at home and minding your kids is the hardest job in the world but the best thing you can do for them. Before I had my own kids, I would have been totally incredulous at the very suggestion that staying at home with children could possibly be harder than going out to work every day. With the innocent naivety of a childless...

We’ve all been there; that time when you really wished that you could do the impossible and split yourself in two. Not physically possible, I know, but it would come in so handy now and again (who am I kidding? Pretty much all the time!). I would love to have another Me; a Work Me to keep the money coming in and a Home Me to clean, cook healthy nutritious dinners and well, clean. But I can’t...

While innocently - INNOCENTLY I tell you – booking a family cinema ticket the other day, I happened to scroll over the pre-booking option for 50 Shades of Grey the movie. I’ve never been so shocked. Not by the trailer, or the blurb, or the suggestive photographs of Jamie Dornan (I’m so proud he’s Irish…); no, I was shocked to see that the 8.30pm show on Saturday the 14 th February was...
