    Apr202018

    I was going to do a post about National Sibling’s Day, but I’m a bit late owing to life getting in the way, so I’m catching up with blog posts now and thought I’d redefine the title and call it “National Bloody Great Children’s Day” instead so that I can […]

    Mar222018

    When your child calls and you can’t help, it is terrifying. As a parent, your job is to protect them, but when they are out in the big wide world in trouble and you are far away, there is nothing you can do. I can only imagine the horror of […]

    HAPPY NATIONAL SINGLE PARENT DAY I think this is possibly just a US thing, but oh well, I’m stealing it on the other side of the pond to acknowledge all the single parents in the UK and all over the world, because there are rather a lot of us these […]

  • DO WE EVER STOP WORRYING ABOUT OUR CHILDREN??

    Posted by Family Affairs on 20-09-2017 in BLOG / TRAVEL tagged with Children / parents / travelling
    Sep202017

    Do we ever stop worrying about our children? Basically, no. We don’t. Extreme love and extreme anxiety occurs the minute you become a parent and then never stops. It means you have to be prepared for that old heart of yours to not just be worn on your sleeve, but […]

    Aug082017

    I can confirm that David Cameron was most definitely at the Wilderness festival, because one of my tribe got a selfie with him. We had very divided opinions about whether he should be seen drinking and smoking and generally loving life, just a year after leaving our sinking ship and […]

    Posted by Family Affairs on 21-07-2017 in BLOG tagged with Children / Emotional intelligence / mobile phones / social media
    Jul212017

    Are our children lacking in emotional intelligence because of the way they live in the world these days? A new study has suggested that children as young as three are hindering their emotional intelligence by spending too long staring at screens instead of socialising with other youngsters.  The boom in […]

  • BEST SOLUTION FOR TALKING TO TEENAGERS? WATCH LOVE ISLAND WITH THEM

    Posted by Family Affairs on 13-07-2017 in BLOG / REVIEWS tagged with Children / conversations / love island / teenagers
    Jul132017

    In a big scary world “Love Island” seems to have captured the (desperate need to be shallow and frivolous) mood of the nation. In order to avoid any more talk on Brexit and Theresa May you either need to leave the country or watch “Love Island”. This is my latest […]

    Apr252017

    Where to go on holiday as a single parent in 2017 To be honest, I am finding it increasingly difficult to decide where to go on holiday as a single parent with my children this year.  I LOVE travelling with (and without) my children, but I’m not particularly adventurous when […]
