Alert: Extreme outpouring of sentiment ahead. If you can’t handle all the loving, mushy stuff, turn back now. Don’t say you weren’t warned When they say your life changes, it’s an understatement bigger than the universe itself. But you were so wanted. And six years ago today, when you arrived, I thought I...
The never-ending debate between stay–at-home-mums and dads and working parents is as heated as ever. Just this week, new research suggests that mothers who work are significantly less likely to suffer from depression than those who stay at home. Dig beyond the headlines, and you will see that Dr Susan Harkness’ study confirms something far...
The greatest perk of Parentonomy is not that we get to highlight great writing, although that’s pretty great. It is that we are able to point you towards the best advice on a given topic because it is advice written by parents who have experienced the very issues they are writing about. Take sleep,...
Eating may be one of our favourite pastimes (go on, admit it) But when it comes to children and food… well it can be hit and miss. Literally. Weaning your child onto solids is like a game of Russian roulette. You don’t know what’s going to go down – and what’ll come back and...
Reading books aloud, especially when there are dinosaur pirates. Finding fuzzy watercolour paintings in art galleries that remind her of the scorching heat in summertime. Marching up hills while gasping “The Grand Old Duke of York” . It’s the only way that Mac and BBZ make it to the top (and not down again)....
So often we focus on rewarding our little ones when they pee and poo in the right place, don’t we? But having read your enlightening posts and listened to your great audio blogs, it is you that should be getting a reward. Gold stars to everyone (and glugs of wine too, if that takes...
At this time of year, I hang around the greetings card section in the supermarket, carefully picking up and reading each Mother’s Day offering. Not because I want a gushing outpouring of sentiment, to show my mum how much she means to me. Quite the opposite. Before you gasp in shock and disapproval at my...
Sponsored video There’s a funny story my husband’s family tell about when he was three years old. It was a party – perhaps New Year’s Eve – and everyone was round at my in-laws’ home, enjoying a drink (or six). Nobody noticed little Master G, crawling around the floor, picking up everyone’s glasses and...
Somehow the words post natal depression and carnival don’t seem to go very well together. But when we asked you to share your experiences of this baffling mental illness, you came forth. And for that, we’d like to thank you – and celebrate your bravery by highlighting the great posts you linked up. Parentonomy...
Elizabeth says: I’ve never been one for birth plans … well, plans in general really. So instead of calming whale sounds, the midwives chose to listen to Chris Moyles’ breakfast show whilst I was in labour with Milly. I can’t have been paying much attention …. for some reason. Because only after being challenged...
