Don’t diss Eurovison…
So, having seen some very grumpy, uncharitable remarks on social media today about how rubbish and pointless Eurovision is, I have risen from my sick bed (having been struck down by a tummy lurgy, I am dizzily typing whilst sipping flat cola, this is how cross I am!) to give anyone who wants to moan […]
READ MORE→What do you mean, being patient doesn’t automatically come with being a parent??
The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. (Oxford English Dictionary) I used to think I was a very patient person. I have worked with children, most of my adult life, as a nanny, and then as a paediatric nurse. Both jobs require tremendous amounts of patience, […]

Welcome to my Friday’s Rants from the Soap Box in my Living Room. A small space in the week where I can have a chunter about things that have made me twitch with annoyance or made me question if the world has gone mad or not…. I also linked up with MummyBarrow for her Ranty Friday. You can find […]
READ MORE→Why we chose to opt for an adenoidtonsillectomy
*Warning – unpretty picture of infected tonsils coming up, they are not Big Girl’s but pretty much are what her tonsils looked like when she was suffering from an actual bout of tonsillitis. When she was “well” her tonsils were that swollen, and only a small gap between them was visible. Her adenoids were also […]

Oh here she goes again about days that she doesn’t like celebrating…. I know, I sound bah humbug, when I say that I am not really bothered or feel like I need a fuss made on one day, in the year. Mother’s Day or Mothering Sunday has been taken over by the shops and media […]

READ MORE→Reward charts for children. Good or bad?
(Photo Source) Have you used reward charts? One of the things about my blog, this little space, where I let loose the contents of my head, and share about our parenting journey, is that I will always be honest. I want to be real, and to share where we are at, and where we have […]
READ MORE→Do you let your kids play out with other kids in the street?
(photo source) This is a parenting quandary, that I am trying to work out in my head, and with discussion and input from LSH. I thought I would talk about it on the blog, and see what other parents thought and do too. In the next street, there is a family, that have children the […]
READ MORE→Friday’s Rants from The Soap Box in MY Living Room!
I have an issue with people who take their laptops or tablet devices, and paperwork, and set them selves up, in local cafes, and sit there all day, taking up table space, and seats, while they work, make calls, have meetings, and even take part in conference calls. (photo source, quite an interesting article too) […]
READ MORE→Friday’s Rant from the Soap Box in MY Living!
This week, it’s short and simple. Dear government, to whom we pay a ridiculous amount of tax, which as far as I can work a fair bit of is wasted. PLEASE STOP TREATING ALL PARENTS LIKE IDIOTS! Just because there is a percentage of the population who do need help parenting and children out there […]
