Are you 41 now?
It was my birthday on Wednesday and at 6.30am my son woke up and the first thing he said was happy birthday. Then he asked… “Are you 41 now?” And I was indeed 41. He said he had been thinking about it all night. We had a normal morning and he went to school. This Continue reading

Mother’s Day and the Many Many Questions of My Child!
In the UK it has been Mothers Day last weekend. On Sunday. I’m not really fussed on the day. Sometimes these days come with higher expectations and if you increase your expectations then ultimately you end up being disappointed when the kids don’t behave or don’t bring you breakfast in bed. And so I am Continue reading

What’s that black under your eyes?
Our household is a blended family and my son goes between my house and his dad’s house. We have a very good routine. It took us 3 tries to find a routine that fit but we have it and it works extremely well. This is a routine we have come up with ourselves – it Continue reading

Why do you ask so many questions?
Ironic huh. This is actually what my son asked me one day as we were getting in the car to set off for school. I literally stopped in my tracks as I couldn’t believe my ears. Here I was writing about the questions he asked me and he thought I asked him a lot of Continue reading

Have I got a hole in my bum?
If you read last week’s post you will know that my son resurrected an old question about his eyes. The eye question used to be asked frequently when he was around 3 years old. After he resurrected it I started thinking about other questions he had asked frequently which I had forgotten* about (*blocked out) Continue reading

Have I got one eye or two eyes?
We were on our way out, going Ten Pin Bowling in the car at the weekend and my son asks: Have I got one eye or two eyes, Mam? My body immediately had a reaction. I went into fight or flight mode. I started to come out in a cold sweat. I had palpitations. I Continue reading

Who do you love more me or my sister?
A normal childhood question I am sure most children ask, or at least think so I was prepared for this one. I’m still sure that my mam loves my brother more than the rest of us, she still talks about how good he was because he walked at 10 months old!!! But what followed this Continue reading
