Gotta be honest, this was a hard read. My mother is cold and distant and has never bothered to really get to know me. Thankfully I'm nothing like her and I love it when my kid tells me about a particular interest of theirs. I can name every NBA team and their star players because my son is obsessed with basketball. I know the entire catalogue of Taylor Swift's albums and the year they were released because my daughter adores her. And I'm proud of that.
Haha are you spying on me Mamamia?! Today I spent ages trawling the internet for jewellery my daughter can wear in the shower. She's a shocker for forgetting to remove hers and it often ends up tarnished so I've decided some good quality earrings would be a perfect Christmas gift. Thank you, this is perfect!
Years ago I was assaulted and robbed while walking. Thankfully it hasn't stopped me from enjoying my walks but ever since then the idea of walking and not being to hear my surroundings makes me uncomfortable. I live near beautiful parklands and love listening to nature while I'm out, I find it very soothing.
The fact that you're self aware and want to make changes makes you a good mum.
If Kyle wants to splash his cash on his honeymoon that's his prerogative. He may be a so called 'shock jock' but for him to discuss this so flippantly while many are doing it tough right now is quite revolting. Keep it to yourself.
Sweet Valley High!! Loved them all. A literary masterpiece they were not lol
A fitting tribute last night to a man who obviously had a big impact on those around him and those who watched his great contribution on MasterChef of late. Andy showed a lot of courage speaking about his mate. You could see how hard it was for him to be back in the kitchen so soon after his passing. He did Jock proud.
Thanks for this article. I became a mum in my early twenties and never really got to discover who I was as an adult beforehand. Being a stay at home mum for many years has also contributed to this and as my kids are now older teenagers I'm grieving the loss of my role as a full time parent. The logical side of me knows I have (hopefully) fulfilled my job well and it will soon be time for them to leave as confident independent adults which is great but my heart also aches for my babies of yesteryear. I keep telling myself it's my time to discover who I am besides a mum but I have to say it's a daunting prospect at times.
