Welcome to my new weekly blog series which is looking at how becoming a parent impacts upon emotional wellbeing, from the extreme highs of having a baby to the baby blue, post-natal depression and everything in between. I'm opening the series with my own story, then each week guest bloggers will take to the stage and give their experiences. I really hope that through publishing a diverse range of...

I hold my hands up to being an occasional *read 'frequent'* pessimist. I don't necessarily expect everything to go wrong and to fall to pieces around me, but I don't always have high expectations in life. I habitually assume people won't want to spend time with me (Quite what all these wonderful friends of mine stick around for I don't know!) I often decide before I open the recipe book that...

My 13-year-old daughter takes after her father in some truly wonderful ways. It’s fair to say, they’re both generous to a fault, incredibly funny and hugely entertaining. But they’re also both masters in the ‘I’ll do this badly so I won’t be asked to do it again’ game. While I’m used to my husband’s antics in this regard, my daughter‘s foray into the dark side has left me a...

When it comes to pregnancy, we have medical professionals saying one thing, friends saying another and family members dividing you right down the centre in terms of what you can and can’t do. And while it is important we listen to what our doctors and GPs advise, a bit of mothering common sense certainly goes a long way. Last weekend, while out for lunch with the girls, one of my friends happily...

The important thing to remember when you divulge information to your teenage daughter in a bid to help and advise her is that it doesn’t always remain between yourselves. Chances are when your beloved daughter is feeling a lot better, she may use your embarrassing disclosures against you. Because teenagers are mean. And that’s just what they do. More than a few mortifying facts I revealed...

A mother from Alabama hit the headlines this week after she named and shamed her daughters on Facebook for deplorable public conduct and I’ve to be honest here, her story didn’t have the desired effect on me. Imploring the woman offended by her daughter’s actions to come forward so that she could attempt to remedy the situation, Kyesha Smith Wood certainly showed us how to parent, and how to...

My son has been experiencing night terrors for approximately three months and I’ll be honest, I think I’m more horrified by the episodes than anyone else. It’s like living with a ticking time bomb who has the potential to wake up and scream bloody murder at any stage between 8pm and 7.30 in the morning. My heart flutters like a bird trapped in a cage and beads of sweat break out at the nape...

Despite my recent resolve to keep my cool a little more with my 2 year old, today was one of those days where I found myself sitting in my car with him in the car park of a shopping centre while he slept in order to get just half an hour peace. The day started somewhat early (5.30am) but we had a reasonably pleasant morning with him in his pushchair walking into town in the sunshine and mooching...

Dare we open up a can of worms by talking about the sensitive topic of a mother’s age? Sure, why not! Nowadays, women are starting their families later and later in life, with mid- to late-thirties being the optimum age for so many. Career, financial security, not ready to settle or haven’t met the right person - they are all very valid reasons not to pop a sprog out right now. But while it is...

My six-year-old daughter Grace has recently joined a drama class. Many of the exercises encouraged by her teacher involve imitating classmates and mimicking the actions of various people in an effort to show children how simple it is to slip into someone else’s shoes. Unfortunately for me, this particular exercise has leaked into our family life and Grace has taken to imitating my words and...
