‘It was devastating’

Fighting game fans are celebrating a mother’s accomplishment in taking care of her ‘mega chill’ baby during a local tournament.

My parents wanted me to have as normal a childhood as possible, so they made the unusual decision to raise me together.

I started researching ambulance waiting times and was horrified to discover how common our story was.

I could see how deeply my mother was struggling with the experience.

The school readiness guidelines don’t recognise that a child’s development is not always linear.

Can a four-year-old become a social pariah by association?

I was met with an image I will never forget: a blank staring face, a wide-open mouth and glazed over eyes.

It was playing a seemingly never ending game of blasphemy bingo with no winners.

Don’t make a disappointing day far worse.

‘I get thousands of hateful comments about how we are narcissistic parents.’

‘Plain water isn’t for us.’

The pendulum has swung from gentle to savage.

‘I thought she was just gluten intolerant’

‘I see so many women shrinking to fit into society’s expectations.’

I could see how deeply my mother was struggling with the experience.

Budget-friendly fun for the whole family.

Kristie had recently given birth when she received a devastating diagnosis.

It’s a hard time to be a ‘boy mum’.

‘Why is she allowed to sponge off our parents while I’ve had to graft?’

‘I can’t keep up.’

‘I’m sorry…’ is now something I say often.

‘I’m sorry…’ is now something I say often.

The plan is for their bodies to be collected, cremated, and then sent to me – all without any kind of formal memorial service.

I wanted to train myself to become a side sleeper well before week 28.
