    On Being a “Bad Mum”

    October 24, 2016 /

    Last night when I couldn’t sleep (still struggling with jetlag) I watched the movies Bad Moms. I’m not going to review the movie but I did enjoy it as it was my sense of humour, it was definitely much better than I thought. What I’m going to talk about is what I was thinking about while watching, the fact that I’m really not a perfect mum, and I’m sure in many instances, I’m a bad mum. Nowadays there is so much pressure on being this perfect mum that it makes it harder than ever to feel like you’re doing a good job in raising your children. Every day at some…

    June 23, 2015 /

    It’s very rare I write about being a mother and what kind of a mother I am, I try to limit as much information about my daughter as possible on this public domain, mainly because her father doesn’t deserve to know what kind of a child she is. So instead I’ve decided to share what kind of a mum I am, because without a doubt motherhood is the greatest adventure I’ve embarked on so far in my life.
