Another mum once told me that you’re out of the woods when your youngest hits the age of three and it’s plain sailing until they enter the wilderness of the teenage years. Being heavily pregnant on my third child when she told me this, as well as having an unruly toddler and a three-year-old, I felt like thumping this mum of older kids with her designer handbag. I felt utterly despondent at...

Having just gotten over the shock of discovering my 14-year-old son managed to acquire, kiss and lose a girlfriend in the space of two days, I didn’t think I could handle any more romantic revelations. My seven-year-old son had other ideas however and after sharing an open and honest conversation with him, the type of which I’d say I’ve only another two years to enjoy, I learned that my...

Birthdays. Love them or hate them, when you have children, they are part and parcel of their social landscape and there’s no escaping them! Recently, a disgruntled mother in the UK hit the headlines, when she sent an invoice for £15.95 to the parents of a five-year-old, when he was a no-show at her son’s party. They even went as far as to threaten small claims court. While it is an extreme...

The eggshells are back on the floor. Like many mothers I’m tiptoeing around them once more. Just when I thought it was safe to relax and de-stress after Christmas I find it’s that time again: exams. End of semester exams for college are upon me (us) and Leaving Cert exams are fast approaching. I’ve been here before so I’ll get through it...won’t I? Education is not for everyone but...

A recent study compiled by three leading British universities, has suggested that the presence of a woman’s partner during childbirth may be, at best, of very little comfort and, at worst, actually increase pain levels. Reassuring on so many levels. No, really! Finally, something has been produced that accurately describes my experience of labour. My partner is many things. He is warm-hearted...

So far January has been an exciting month within our family as we celebrated two milestone birthdays. The first was my dad’s 75th birthday and more importantly (no offence, Dad!) we celebrated our daughter’s first birthday. Celebrating a first birthday is an exciting milestone as Baba is no more and The Toddler is soon to emerge, bringing joy, tears, laughter and destruction, judging from our...

Monday morning. Mid-January. Potty training begins. Again. But this time I’m prepared. Dozens of tiny underpants and dry leggings wait in the wings, Caillou’s Potty Time has been a regular feature of story time in the last week, and I’ve stockpiled patience. According to a brief Google search, potty training can be done in five days (or less) so I’m motivated. The young one is not...

I was burrowing into one of my assorted pairs of tartan pyjamas (I say “pairs” only because there is a top and a bottom; these never match) the other evening when I remembered one of the few great things about the wintry days of darkest January: I don't have to look at my body. I go from multi-layered daywear to all-encompassing night attire with just a quick hot shower in between. No time...

I love my children. I want the very best for each of them. I want them to grow into confident, capable, happy, independent people - that’s why I insist on being a ‘bad’ mother! Here are some examples of my bad mothering: I don't put their coats on. I just provide them with coats (and hats and gloves and scarves) and I advise them that they should wear their these items when it is cold. I...

So yesterday I learned that my 14-year-old son is no longer a single man. He’s a grown-up in a committed relationship. Apparently. I say ‘apparently’ because I’m finding all this out second-hand. The day my son comes home and confides in me first will be the same day my husband discovers where the hoover is kept. No, I got this rather earth-shattering piece of news from my twelve-year-old...
