Coco Austin hit the headlines recently when she uploaded a snap of herself to social media. The model and gym bunny, who is due her first child before the end of the year, stunned fans and followers this week when she appeared to have next to no bump while hanging backstage at her husband Ice-T's gig. Seeing Coco accused of faking her pregnancy and reading the comments and remarks made by...

There are times when I really and truly dislike my teenage daughter. There, I said it. Yes, I love her and yes, I would lay down my life for her, but sometimes I find myself struggling to actually like her. Does this make me a bad mother or simply a woman who knows how to call a spade a spade and acknowledge that at times her daughter is nothing short of hideous company? Here are just ten times in...

Enough is enough - it’s time something was said, ladies! Dear Rude Mum At The School Gate, As mums, we all know just how hectic the morning is; getting the kids up, dressed, fed and in class on time makes for a very busy few hours. I know because I do it every day. But that is no excuse for rudeness. You may not realise this letter is being directed at you - you’re probably too busy dropping...

My partner recently revealed he had a passing crush on a work colleague. Almost paralysed with guilt, he approached me last July and spilled the beans . As a woman who takes a fleeting fancy to almost any man I come in contact with, I was astounded by the guilt he was carrying around. I told him to enjoy his passing crush and prepare himself for the next big one. That was until I met her. I had...

At what point in your journey through motherhood, do you actually feel like you've nailed it? Seven years into my journey and I still feel I'm going to be exposed as a fraud. While I have a little girl who calls me 'Mum' and a handbag chock-full of Calpol, school leaflets and notes penned in a childish scrawl, I still don't feel like I've earned the title yet...

When my daughter was younger, she had a particularly interesting way of getting her father to satisfy her sweet tooth. Demands for icecream were often followed with the threat of divorce if he didn't comply. And no, she wasn't one of those adorable little girls who assumed she was also married to Daddy; she knew her role in the family. Mummy was married to Daddy, but if Daddy didn't...

We all have funny and, more often than not, embarrassing home movies hiding someowhere in the house that we pull out every Christmas or family get-togethers. But as viral videos become more and more prominent in our society, it seems these so-called home movies are being put up online for the whole world to see. And they no longer become embarrassing family memories but rather viral hits, and the...

Reality TV matriarch and world-famous momager, Kris Jenner, came out this week and said she was “really upset” by her daughter’s decision to get lip fillers before the age of 18. The idea of your child going under the surgeon’s knife at any age would distress any mother, but here’s the thing, Kris was in a position to stop it. While the Kardashian / Jenner family set-up is far from...

Remember the last time you made a tongue-in-cheek remark about your children and found yourself berated by thousands of angry parents chastising you for not recognising your good fortune? Yeah, me neither. That, however, is exactly what happened to Victoria Beckham earlier this week when she made an off-the-cuff remark about her daughter Harper’s apparent disinterest in fashion. During a...

My 13-year-old daughter went on her first official date last Saturday evening. Despite her father’s outright horror and my initial reluctance, we finally relented and allowed Rebecca to meet a boy from her class outside of the school grounds. Under the watchful eye of her older brother who was dispatched to keep an eye on his younger sister from a nearby booth, Rebecca met with her young suitor...
