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...

A video which recently hit the headlines shows a 4-year-old girl carefully explaining the merits of each and every cosmetic nestled within her mother's makeup bag. Instead of smearing red lipstick across her mouth like I did as a child, little Mia concerned herself with perfecting her eyebrows and appeared all too eager to attain 'skinny face'. I'll be honest, I didn't know I...

Dear Mum, I’ve written you numerous cards over the years, I’ve left scrawled notes around the house and I’ve sent countless texts, but have I ever actually sat down, put pen to paper and written you a proper letter? Have I ever taken the time to truly thank you? Yes, I’ve called a hurried ‘ta’ over my shoulder as I let the house as a teen and mumbled a ‘thank you’ into your ear as...

Ok nobody told me about the fear. Yes this is the new mum, don’t look at how I'm holding my baby fear. Honestly this exists, I remember my husband going home and leaving me in the hospital the first day our son was born. I have never felt so scared in all my life. How? that was the first question that came to my mind. How do I hold my baby properly? How do I feed my baby properly? How do I...

We all know Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if you're anything like me, you've been leaving enough hints around the house about gifts that nobody would dare forget! However, who these hints are directed at is very different for every mum. Older kids can pick you up something, while smaller ones obviously can’t, so in many cases, the hints are directed at our significant...

My daughter is turning 13 next week and her father appeared to be in meltdown about it. And despite my best intentions, he eventually managed to send me completely over the edge as well. While my daughter planned her first teenage party, my husband drafted a contingency plan on how to deal with the next six years. Whether he watched too much Jeremy Kyle on his days off or inexplicably schooled...

Remember the time that study was released and assured you that you were doing a great job as a parent? Yeah, me neither. As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, we’re now faced with yet another report that tells us our attempts at child-rearing are as impressive as a teenage girl naming a One Direction track with little to no assistance. Now tell me, how do you support your child? Praise...
